Regina Beach Tournament Updates
May 11, 2011
It is with regret that we are forced to cancel the Regina Beach Walleye Classic for June 4th & 5th 2011. The alternate date of June 25th just does not allow any change to assist.
Provincial Parks have shut down all boat launchs on the lake and announced no boats / wake zone due to heavy flooding and waters that are continuing to rise.
2012 will be the 20th Anniversary in lieu of this year.
Reasons:
 | Gov't regualations |
| boating safety |
| no access to launch boats |
| no access for weigh in area |
| liability reasons |
| flooding and still rising |
Any entries that were rec'd prior to May 1st and cashed will be receiving a refund cheque in the mail (to person who sent entry in)
Any received since have been held without cashing pending decision and they will be returned in the mail as well
Delvin and Linda Kushniryk win Estevan Season Opener
Thank you for your support and we hope to see you next year
Next years date will be announced on the web at www.reginabeachlions.org/Walleye shortly.

| water levels have exceeded expectation and apparently are to rise another 42 cm before mid May |
| SE apparently is not putting in the loading docks at the boat launch as anchors are not accessable due to high water levels |
| areas available for weigh in are being narrowed as water continues to rise however currently we are looking at the area just west of the main pier |
| The Walleye committee is monitoring the situation and will make a final decision on or before May 18th, 20011 (either to cancel or delay to June 25th weekend) Check the web page for updates at www.reginabeachlions.org/Walleye |
| Yacht Club will not be available |
| If cancelled all entry fees will be refunded |
| If postponed to June 25th weekend, entry fees will only be refunded by request not later than three complete days prior. If you cannot make it, you would know by then (no later than June 21st @ 10:00 PM). Cancellations after that (Jun 21st - 23rd inclusive) will result in 75% refund only. On or after June 24th there will be no refund. |
| On a positive note - A new store and gas bar (full serve) on Hwy 54 just east of Center St has opened. They will have premium gas, a deli counter for sandwiches ect. and will be open early in morning -(4:30 am is tentative time - this will be confirmed and posted) |
| The Esso suffered a huge fire and is in process of re-building and it is anticipated it will be open for June 1st (this too will be updated later) |
| We are trying to make this event happen, are working hard to do what is necessary and we ask for your patience and consideration. |
| We will keep you posted. We are working with the SWT Executive to assure another great event. |

Lion Ken Peters, Chairman 2011 Walleye Classic

Don't Panic: this is just a heads up advisory notice
As many may know - Saskatchewan has seen a lot of flooding this year. Regina Beach is amongst the communities effected. Our Walleye Classic is scheduled for the June 4 & 5th weekend and hopefully will be the case.
However we must be prepared and also advise you that there may be a problem in that our Yacht Club and lake have significant increases on the water level that may jeopardize our tournament. The lake is up almost 6' and the main pier, the yacht club and the points at Regina Beach and Pelican are all under water and there is still water pouring into the lake (approx 4" - 6" per day) the breakwaters, piers and gas fill area at the Yacht club are under water and the lower level is overrun with water.
Our committee is currently holding meetings for an alternative plan B if necessary. We are meeting with water officials, Yacht club personnel, Sask. Walleye Trail personnel and of course local officials trying to arrange a satisfactory settlement and hopefully a great 20th Anniversary Tournament
I ask that you please monitor our Walleye website and check for email updates before travelling. We will maintain a regular update to the tournament
It is a possibility that the tournament will be later in season if we can not go. If cancelled all monies will be refunded but hopefully it will not come to that.
