After last year's raging success of a day, we, the Saltaire Brewery staff, are once again lifting up our paddles to compete in the UK's biggest Dragon Boat Race!
This year we are putting our efforts in to raise £1000 for Bradford's Lord Mayor's chosen charities - Down Syndrome Training & Support Service in Bingley, and the Wishing Well Appeal.
Please help us to smash our fundraising target for the Lord Mayor's Appeal charities - and we'll do our best in the race! Last year we were just pipped to the finishing line to compete in the final rounds. This year, we're gunning to make it all the way.
Look at our faces! We loved competing last year, and want to do even better in 2018!!
We're getting back in the boat on Saturday June 23rd for a full day of competing, so if you fancy a great day out, and cheering us on, please see the Dragon Boat Race website for details www.bradforddragonboatfestival.co.uk or see their Twitter page @DragonBoatsBrad
We very much appreciate any donation, no matter how small. Thank you for all your support, it makes a big difference to the charities and to peoples' lives.
