Dragon Boat Race Take 2
THE first
attempt to run this year’s Rotary Club Charity Dragon Boat Race, on
Southport’s Marine Lake, had had to be cancelled due to high winds. On Saturday, 9 August 2008, it was not looking good, as high winds
and rain were forecast. However, despite the heavy rain, the high
winds did not strike again. It was hard to work out though, just who
was wetter, those racing in the boats or the public watching from
the backs outside the Southport District Scout Council’s
Waterside Lodge. This was an extremely well run event and just as
much fun for the spectators as it was for those competing in
the race. A commentary on the race was given by SCR. Food and drink
was provided by the Scouts. Also helping out was St John
ambulance. All the cash raised was given to charity. Well done, to
all participants and to the Rotary for not letting the weather win. We look forward to next year’s event.
