In the face of the Proudfoot Four's continued resistance Councillor Yvonne Wills continues to struggle to save Regatta. Despite a very successful Regatta last year the Regatta Committee collapsed under the weight of Mayor Paul Tomlinson's micromanagement and the negativity of Councillor's Steve Sainsbury, Barry Dingwall, and Louise Wadsworth. Councillor Wills, because of the stress-related health problems from battling the Proudfoot Four (they voted twice against the Regatta), had not planned to work on Regatta again. But in the absence of any volunteers, and the Proudfoot Four's commitment to have nothing to do with Regatta, Councillor Wills is once again stepping up to bat.
But it will be another battle this year as the Proudfoot Four are determined to carve away the beer garden, the street dance, various activities and competitions, and reduce Regatta from two days down to one. Vendors who have participated in previous years have stated they will not attend for a one-day-only event.
