Isle of Sheppey Race

Why? Do we not get out much? If you had been to the club and met its residents you may get it !

And for those of us not going, and who arn't likely to go in the near future ... What are the locals like?

It depends on the tide regarding how much room you have to play with
under the bridge, but iv done the race five times and I most defintley saw a
Tornado one year. And considering it is illegal to go through the bridge
when the bride is actually open, im guessing it got under OK.
