Raft Racing at the Abrook Arms
MESSING ABOUT ON THE RIVER
August Bank Holiday 2009 ... another Raft Race at the Abrook Arms. The family gathers to give support to the girls 'Welease Wodger' team. Defending champions and a cup to retain ... Tension builds to the first of the heats at 15:30. No need to worry, the new ultra-fast polystyrene design wins the day. Its very cold for the grandparents. and especially me being in the river all day, but we manage to launch the 300 ducks for their race.
2008. Another Abrook Arms August Bank Holiday Festival. Another Raft Racing Day. Good fun had by everyone. The weather cleared. All the jobs got done (even with some extreme hangovers). The rafts floated and the crowds turned up. Well done to the 'Welease Wodger' team. Victory after last years second place. Its not cheating if the team captain is going out with the judge.
