Winners - Raft Race 2009

Raft Race 2009

Greetings Everyone!

Guess who are the winners of the Sutton Coldfield East & West District Scouts Raft Race 2009?

That's right, it's the 6th Sutton Coldfield East, our very own troop!

Reece, Jacob B, Lauren, Tom & Dominic got off to a flying start and created a massive lead which they maintained over the entire course.

The gap between 1st & 2nd place was so vast that we had time to lift our raft out the water & carry it halfway up the hard, take some photographs and partially dismantle it before 2nd place reached the finishing post!

In fact our troop cut through the water with such unbelievable ease that we are still looking for the hidden outboard motor!

Well done team, we are all very proud of you.

Many thanks to all those parents who offered their support and helped make this a day to remember, namely; Clare W, Mark & Sara A, Ian B, Clare H, Mike & Ginny A.
This is the 1st time we have won this event according to the names on the prize, an old wooden oar.

Also thanks to Dave our GSL, for his help & support on the day.

Needless to say, we will mount the trophy pride of place inside HQ!

All I can say is well done once again, to our brilliant raft building/raft racing winners 2009.

Best regards,

Adam
