Wellesbourne & Shakespeare Lions Raft Race 2013

 

 

Wellesbourne & Shakespeare Lions annual raft race will be taking place on Sunday 23rd June. A new dedicated web site has just been launched giving details of this very popular and well organised event – www.raftrace.org.uk.

The race starts at around 9.00 am at Wasperton and ends up opposite Shakespeare’s theatre in Stratford upon Avon, a distance of around 7 miles, including two challenging weirs. There are a number of different classes ranging from formula 1 crafts for the experts to survivor, for those who just want to participate in this fun event. Refreshments are available at both the start field and at the end of the race. Safety teams and St. John’s Ambulance staff are on hand to provide a safe environment for you to enjoy the race.

Please come and join us by participating in the race and helping to raise money for local charities including this year’s main beneficiary, Dogs for the Disabled, a very worthy cause. If you can’t make it on the day then there will be the opportunity to sponsor an individual raft or make a general donation via the new website. We would be extremely grateful if you could please help us to spread the word by announcing the date at Club meetings.
