Return of Greenfingers Dragon Boat Race NEEDS YOU!

 

If your colleagues, friends and family would like to join the starting line-up of this year’s Dragon Boat Race do drop Greenfingers a line! It promises to be a great fun day for the whole family!

 

If you are unable to join us, you can still help by spreading the word about the event and if you can, we’d love you to donate a prize for the on-the-day raffle!

 

Here’s a little more information about the event…

  • We are working with New Wave Events who will be running the day and bringing along the boats – so there’s no need to bring your own!
  • Each team can be made up of 11 or more crew members and 1 drummer.
  • Team entry costs £900. If you’re unable to make up a team, you can sign up as an individual and join a team - the cost is £100 per person.
  • Pastries, tea, and coffee will be provided for competitors and volunteers on arrival.
  • All those taking part, along with their cheer squads are invited to bring a picnic and/or BBQ.
  • Children are very welcome to come along, and in case they’re needed, we will have a small selection of garden games (Giant Jenga, Giant Connect 4, Boule etc) to help keep them entertained in between races.   
  • If you’re worried about leaving your pooch at home, well-behaved dogs are very welcome to come along too!
  • There’s plenty of FREE parking at the venue.
  • There is camping on-site and some other lovely places to stay nearby should you wish to make a weekend of it.

We hope you will support this event, put the FUN into FUNdraising and in turn help us build more gardens for life-limited children and families in hospices to enjoy.
