Audio Industry Regatta Gives AIR to Charity
The Solent is the acknowledged centre of British sailing and also the location for AIR 2005, the newly launched Audio Industry Regatta, held this year on the 24th and 25th September. Formerly known as the DAMMSTY weekend, this annual event has been organised since 1989 by Ken Walker and Brenda White. The DAMMSTY sailing trophy, introduced in 1993, is awarded in memory of Dave Martin of Martin Audio. A fantastic fun weekend, it raises money and awareness for the Elizabeth Foundation for Deaf Children.
Based in the Portsmouth area, the Elizabeth Foundation offers support nationwide to deaf children, from birth to five years old, and their parents.
This year’s ‘splash and dash’ event was held over two days, with 13 sponsored boats from the pro audio world competing over five races. Saturday evening’s fundraiser event at Gunwharf Quays included dinner, auction, raffle and the obligatory pop quiz, all washed down with more than the odd tot of rum.
