For the 6th year running PWP's Dragon Boat racing was a huge success, with over £10,000 being raised for local charities.  The 'Fastest Boat' prize was hotly contested by the 12 teams, with Merchant Square team to strong for Davy Process, piping them in the final by a couple of seconds.


The 'Best Dressed' title was also  close to call, with Cosmic from St Mary's taking the first prize for a huge effort of creating a team of Smurf's including blue faces, matching white hats and even a Papa Smurf!

The prize for the 'Most Money Raised' went to Kingfisher who raised a fantastic amount - over £1500 in total for Vital Regeneration.

The evening went well with CORE Organic supplying the food and venue for the prize giving where the weary yet satisfied teams gathered for post race celebrations.
