The Electrical Industries Charity has launched its 2017 Dragon Boat event which will see industry teams vie for the coveted Dragon Boat trophy. The event takes place on Saturday, May 6th at Peterborough Rowing Lake and promises to be a fun filled day with teams of 9 to 11 paddling to the beat of the drum.<\/p>\n
Dragon boat racing an ancient Chinese tradition and is one of the fastest growing water activities in Britain. So if you think you have what it takes to challenge the dragon sign up now.<\/p>\n
There are two options for taking part. If you have 9 to 11 willing volunteers then you can sign up for a team boat which costs \u00a3950, of which \u00a3300 is donated to the Electrical Industries Charity, with gold, silver and sponsorship packages available including the option to have a dragon boat named after your team or business. Up to 10 people from your team will paddle the boat.<\/p>\n
But if you don\u2019t have a team of 9 to 11 people then don\u2019t worry because you can reserve individual places for just \u00a390 each \u2013 a great opportunity to take part in this fantastic event and the Charity will place you into a team on the day \u2013 who knows this may even be a winning combination.<\/p>\n
Electrical Industries Charity Managing Director, Tessa Ogle, said: \u201cDragon Boat 2017 promises to be a great day out for the industry, families and friends. So whether you are a budding drummer, a willing spectator ready to cheer everyone on or a champion oarsman in the making \u2013 you need to be there.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs well as being great fun, this event will enable the Charity to continue to provide support to those in our industry who need it most. So why not show your support.”<\/p>\n
