Allen & York were delighted to race for charity on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May, raising money for Julia’s House Children’s Hospice in Dorset. A BIG thank you to everyone, especially friends and family who sponsored us, we really appreciate your support and are delighted to continue our support of a very worthwhile charity. To find out more about the fabulous work they do visit the Julia's House website.

We spent a fabulous sunny morning at the Sherborne Castle Country Fair, pitting our paddling skills against Dorset’s finest. Getting off to a great start and accompanied by the Hawaii Five-O music (as were all the races), we won our 1st and 2nd races, shaving 2 seconds off our time as the crew of HEADHUNTER dug deep and got more and more competitive! Well, what do you expect from a boat full of recruiters? The paddles flew, everyone got very wet and our drummer managed to balance rather precariously, on a very small seat jutting out just above the dragon’s head!

Our supporters cheered enthusiastically and thank you to everyone who came along to spur us on. Unfortunately, our 3rd heat didn’t go quite to plan, a quick reshuffle of the team and some uncoordinated rowing resulted in us not making the final. As much as we wanted to win, we were very happy to take part and we plan to do it all again next year.
