On 16th May, dozens of teams took to the water in their dragon boats for this year's ever-popular regatta at Gloucester Docks.
Despite the temperamental weather, hundreds of spectators turned up to see the 24 teams compete in the dragon boat shpwdown.
Ten teams raced in the morning and fourteen in the afternoon. The overall winners of this year's regatta were Dodderers Floaters, with second place being awarded to Cardiff University Students Union and third, Heliangels from Bond Air Services.
Louise Oakley stated, "This is the 13th year that we've run the Dragon Boat Regatta and with this year's fundraising, this annual event has now raised over £250, 000. This is an amazing figure and makes a significant contribution to the services provided by CLIC Sargent.
As well as the boat racing, there were also numerous goods and food stalls at the Docks, as well as a trampoline and free face painting, provided by Jump Bristol.
Everyone at CLIC Sargent would like to say a huge thank you to the Gloucester Branch and all the volunteers for helping make the day so successful.
