Dragon Boat Challenge

Construction Industry Dragon Boat Challenge – new venue for 2009!

The ever-popular Construction Industry Dragon Boat Challenges are back again this year and have added a third great location. The challenges are fun, all-inclusive, team-building events offering fantastic networking opportunities within the building industry. This year’s challenges will be held as follows:

  • Weds 3rd June – Manchester
  • Thurs 2nd July – London
  • Weds 15th July – Cardiff (New venue!)
Spaces are already booking up so make sure you register your interest early to avoid disappointment!

The Dragon Boat challenges are major fundraising events for CRASH and we’d like to thank everyone who took part in both Manchester & London last year, with team sponsorship and a donation from crew entry fees by event organisers Gable Events raising over £40,000 for CRASH. Special thanks go to the Modus Crew from Modus who raised £12,000 of this in additional sponsorship for the London event; this is not only the highest amount raised for the 2008 events but also the highest amount of additional sponsorship raised by one crew in the 10 years since CRASH has been the beneficiary charity of the Construction Industry Dragon Boat Challenges.

Also new for this year is our Dragon Boat Challenge DVD which you will be able to download in our Fundraising & Events section very soon. In the meantime, if you’d like to see for yourself just how fun these events are, please contact CRASH Fundraising Administrator Joanna Steege for a copy.

To book a place for your team or for more information on the events and sponsorship & marketing opportunities for your company please contact Gable Events on 01780 470718 or visit this website.
