LAUNCH WEEKEND 2014

The Cruiser launch dates for next year are 12/13th April 2014. For those who wish to launch sooner, then there will be the opportunity to be recovered last in this years lift in weekend. The reason for choosing a later date is based on Easter being late, together with the large amount of disruption we had this year as a result of the poor weather.
