At 10am on Sunday 21st July, 48 teams of
16 rowers - plus a drummer - will take to the River Thames to race against each
other in long medieval boats in Kingston’s upon Thames’ 13th annual Dragon
Boat Challenge. Family run Estate Agents Rochills, based in Walton on Thames,
will be entering their team, The Rochills Rockitts, in support of Kingston
Young Carers.
Kingston Young Carers Project supports 5-18 year olds
who have caring responsibilities for a family member, maybe a parent or
sibling, who is suffering with a physical or mental disability, or learning
difficulties. The Project provides a
place for these young people to have a break, have fun, socialise with peers
and receive one to one sessions with trained carers.
Apart from supporting a worthwhile charity, you’ll be
guaranteed a great day out on the river, with riverside entertainment, stalls
and sideshows, a riverside pub and lots of food. With all the colourful boats racing past all
day, it certainly will be an impressive spectacle to watch from Canbury Gardens.
Admission for spectators is free and there will be plenty of space for picnics.
Marcel Roccia of Rochills said ‘We are very excited to be taking part in
the Dragon Boat Challenge. It’s a worthy charity and it will be a fun day out
for all the family, so please do sponsor us and come along and cheer us on’.
