Picture vibrant and lively dragon boats, each measuring a whopping forty feet and adorned with intricate decorations reminiscent of ancient Chinese war canoes. These boats are complete with dragon heads and tails, adding to the spectacle. Our dedicated team of 16 enthusiastic paddlers will skillfully navigate these magnificent vessels, propelled forward by the rhythmic beats of our talented drummer (though, between us, we tend to create our own rhythm!).
If you share our passion for safety and want to be part of this exhilarating experience, we extend a warm invitation for you to join our team. Simply reach out to Sam at [email protected] to get involved and be a part of the excitement!
However, beyond the sheer thrill of the race, this event holds a deeper significance for us. It’s an opportunity for us to give back to the community that has supported us over the past two decades. The event supports local Kent charities, which can be donated to here https://wonderful.org/fundraisers/RvWWV, making it more than just a race; it’s a meaningful way for us to contribute to the betterment of our community while also enjoying a fantastic day out with friends and family.
For more details and to stay updated on the event, please visit https://www.rotary-ribi.org/clubs/page.php?PgID=495881&ClubID=2077.
We invite you to cheer us on us as we paddle for a cause, making a splash in support of our local charities and celebrating 20 years of safety excellence!
