·
2/3rds of the money raised by each team
goes to charity of the team captain’s choice.

There are 17 persons in a dragon boat

the team for each race if you have/want to.

It’s a lot of fun doing it. I
raced in the last one and we had a wonderful time and a lot of laughs.
Wiltshire Council is listening !
Wiltshire County Council
will be conducting a Recreational and Leisure Survey in the near future.
The Vision board thought it would be a valuable exercise to conduct one of our
own in advance of the county one so that we could get the focus on the issues
in Chippenham and be able to raise these at county level as soon as
possible based on the feedback we get. Attached is the two page survey
for you to fill out! You can either email it back to Eilidh Edmiston : eilidhedmiston@hotmail.com or print it off and post it back to: Survey ChAP PO
BOX 3353 Chippenham SN15 9DQ BY end of
March if you want to put your views across !
