2008 Griffith Cup cancelled
See notice below regarding cancellation
The Victorian Speed Boat Club wishes to advise that due to circumstances beyond our control we have decided to cancel the event to be run at Lake Mulwala, Yarrawonga on the 4th, 5th & 6th April 2008.
The current water level at Lake Mulwala is 76.44%, which is 60cm below full supply level; we believe that this low water level would be hazardous for race competitors. The local water authorities have informed us that unless we have significant rainfalls in the next month the water level would not be expected to rise to a level that would allow us to run this event.
