Another Great Raft
Race
|
|
It looks like more than £10,000 has been raised by the intrepid
crews who took part in this year’s Raft race. The weather was great and
an enthusiastic crowd was at Millmead to see the many rafts gather in
preparation for their trip down the River Wey.
|
|
The start at 3.00pm saw more than 25 rafts head down river
and before long the fastest were already arriving at the Waterside
Centre. Others took a little longer!!

A huge crowd walked the course alongside the rafts and the Guildford
Mayor Cllr Mrs Jennifer Jordon accompanied Chris Thomas, Guildford Lions’ Club President on the National
Trust boat as it steered its passage through the fleet.

“Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves,” said Chris, “and a
great deal of effort was put into the design of some of the rafts. The
money raised will go to many good causes so I would urge the teams to
collect their sponsorship as soon as possible.” “I would like to thank
our sponsors Enterprise
Rent a Car and all the teams for their participation.”

John Fellows, event Chairman added “This was another
successful year for the Raft Race and I would thank everyone who took
part and also those who supported the race. Details of next year’s race
will be posted here in the New Year.”
