Dragon Boat Challenge 2022
We recently held a presentation evening and invited all the contestants to receive their cheques for them to hand over to their chosen charities. A few photos show what a pleasure and delight the evening was. Over 100 guests and members came to the Downe Arms, Wykeham. We were honoured to have as our special guest Lord Downe who kindly agreed to participate and hand over the cheques and plaques to all the rowers. A very enjoyable BBQ was provided to conclude the evening. Here are a few photos of the event, too many to include all, we will gladly email yours to you if you wish, please ask. Roger.
