SUCCESS FOR OUR DRAGON BOAT TEAM

What a day! A magnificent effort by our team. Finishing 7th. Way above our 12th for last year and 6 seconds faster than the first heat. Keith and Angela encouraged people to donate by carrying around a bucket and managed to raise £122.64. It was really good to see so many client and volunteer families came along to support the team. For those who’d like to be part of next year’s team, please let me know – Helen. Photos of the day are in the gallery on our website.

A big thank you to

Mason’s Chelsfield Branch for their £1,600 donation.
Anonymous donor for 17 new buoyancy aids (£1000)
Grand Lodge West Kent Masons for their very generous donation of 11 new sets of sails for our 303 fleet. As a result, it will look so smart with new colourful sails. I’m sure our racers will be even more appreciative having sails that don’t feel like an old sheet.
Without donations, we wouldn’t be able to operate!
