g3 £££ RAISING PADDLERS!


g3baxi participated in the 13th Annual Rotary Dragon Boat Challenge at Canbury Gardens, Kingston on Sunday 21st July, and very kindly donated £400 of their sponsorship money to SATRO. John Evans, Risk and Safety Manager at G3bxp, penned this thank you note to all who took part in the fundraising...

"Thanks to everyone for a marvellous day out yesterday.  Arun has asked me to pen a few words on his behalf, so I will start by thanking him for suggesting the idea and putting so much effort and encouragement to us all to bring the team together.   Thanks to all of you for turning up for the training.

Additional thanks are of course due to g3 associates and family, who bolstered the team so that it could achieve full strength on the day.  Without you we would have – not been a full crew! The non-paddling family members had a really important role in providing gazebo security, but more so in making the paddling picnic a very convivial place.  It would have been nice to just occupy the gazebo and not to race at all.

To the water then.  On the day, we were one of the 5 most consistently fast teams, our efforts beating the London Welsh rugby club team on our 3rd outing.  As you know, 0.05 seconds separated us from a  place in the final, but though it is nice to try one’s hardest, it is not about that – the main result is that currently, with Gift Aid, we have raised nearly £800 for SATRO and RNLI, which is also an impressive result!  Well done everyone and please thank your family and friends – yes all of them, until we find out who the Anonymous donors are!"

With Best Wishes,
John Evans
