| Longcraig @ "Round Britain Powerboat Race" - 28 June 2008On the 27th and 28th of June, Longcraig cadets and staff took to the water to watch this unique powerboat challenge event enter and then leave the Forth Estury. The centres Rib and Launch both travelled down the river for a better view, and the sense of going on a trip added to the fun, and broadened the teams awareness of driving powerbaots outwith our home patch. It was a great couple of days, with some challenging conditions for the competitors and spectators alike. Look in the photo gallery for some pictures.
