The 2018 Guildford Lions Charity Raft race ran as planned in glorious sunshine on Saturday 7 July. Despite the distraction of England's World Cup match the Raft Race attracted a good crowd. They saw Guildford Mayor Mike Parsons and Lion President Jacqui Blake do a tour of the rafts on Millmead Lock Island between 2 and 3pm. The race was started by the Mayor just before 3pm. The results and trophy winners are: trophies_2018.pdf
We also had our first paddleboard entrants who acquitted themselves very well. Rafters and spectators were able to enjoy a drink and a burger at the finish point while catching the second half of England's match on the big screen TV set up there by the Lions.
Thanks again to all who took part and came to watch and made this a real fun time. And thanks to our main sponsors Enterprise rent-a-car, the rafters and paddleboarders whose sponsorship efforts raised much needed funds for a variety of charitable and deserving causes.
