GENERAL NEWS BULLETIN
9.15 Mr. JOHN SCOTT HUGHES : An
Eye-Witness Account of Cowes
.. Regatta. S.B. from Bournemouth
ALWAYS the most popular yachting
'festival' of the year, Cowes Week presents an equal attraction. to the professional and the mere ' layman.' The festival dates back to 1800 when privately-owned vessels were first raced off Cowes; then in 1815, the Cowos Yacht Club was formed. The event has .continually grown in importance until now Cowes Week is one of the great English social festivals of the year ; but the importance of the social side should not hide' the more serious activity of a Club that has done so much to encourage the sport of yachting in every branch. Cowes is, weather permitting, as gay a feast of colour as England can show-of white sails and sky and water ; and it is against this vivid background that listeners must set Mr. Scott Hughes ' words this evening.
