 Each September, the Appeal takes part in Bristol’s brilliant Dragon Boat Race, and we’d love you to get involved!
Crews of 16 paddlers (plus a drummer) will race in Chinese-style Dragon Boats over a 250 metre course. Crews do not need to be super fit or skilled to be successful – all that’s required is teamwork and a good sense of fun!
Dragon Boat racing is steeped in mythology and has been around for many thousands of years in China. Popular legend has it that through the racing, Chinese dragons would bring rain. We hope that this will not be the case on 28th September!
The racing will be run by leading events company The Organisation who provide the boats, helms, safety equipment, life-jackets and rescue boats. Call Laura on 0800 919 649 for more info.
