Family Day fun at Cowes Yacht Haven.
Family Day encapsulates the inclusive nature of Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week from families sailing together out on the water, to the many activities around Cowes for everyone to enjoy. This year we want to hear from you, members of the public and competitors at Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week about your experiences of Family Day, here at one of the world’s greatest sailing regattas.
We are running a competition, thanks to the support from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard to win an exclusive after-hours guided tour of the Mary Rose Museum at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard for up to 20 people. One runner up will win a certificate for 2 adults and up to 3 children to visit The Mary Rose Museum at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard – includes a guided tour and afternoon tea.
To enter send us no more than 200 words about how you are enjoying the day and what Family Day means to you. Email your piece to aamcowesweekpr@wsmcommunications.com. The deadline is midnight on Thursday 14 August.
