THE EVENT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE

World Coracle Championships

Friday 16th September 2016 14:00


THIS IS A TRAFFIC FREE EVENT

We are delighted to be promoting the 8th running of the prestigious World Coracle Championships on the River Severn in Shrewsbury.

This spectacular day of racing attracts hundreds of spectators as teams from local companies and organisations compete to be crowned champions of the world.

For a fantastic day out, an opportunity for team building, networking and general frivolity this event cannot be matched.

We are looking for teams of 4 to individually cross the river to the Quarry bank and return. We provide the coracle and lifejackets so all you have to do is fundraise and have fun!

Sounds easy?

Well if you have never been in a coracle this is your chance to show off your maritime skills in a competitive race day.

The serious side to the competition is to raise funds through participation and sponsorship opportunities for Macmillan Cancer Support in Shropshire. All of the proceeds from the day will provide local support for the people of Shropshire from Macmillan. Last year over £22,000 was raised.

Entry into the World Championships is by completing the attached form.

We ask that each team of 4 raises a MINIMUM of £300 for the entry. Further fund raising will be most welcome and there is a central Just Giving page for our Shropshire Macmillan fund raising that we ask teams, companies and individuals to pay into.

On the day the Pengwern Boat House bar will be open and there will be a barbecue and activities for the children to make it a truly family day out.

So what are you waiting for? Spread the news among your friends and colleagues and enter a team while there are spaces available.

Looking forward to seeing you splashing about on the River Severn!
