More Adventurous Fundraising ideas…
For the more adventurous among us, why not try a slightly different event:
Wife Carrying Races
The 3rd UK Wife Carrying Race will take place on Sunday 18 March 2013. Men or women can carry a “wife” (who can be of either sex and no relation) over a distance of around 200m. It takes place near Dorking’s Box Hill (www.trionium.com/wife).
Cheese Rolling
This race involves chasing Double Gloucester cheeses down the disturbingly steep Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire. The Cheese Roll takes place each summer for more details visit www.cheese-rolling.co.uk.
World Bog-Snorkelling Championships
An unusual but well established event on the British calendar: a 60-yard swim in a Welsh drainage ditch. It takes place on Sunday 26th August, 2012 (www.green-events.co.uk).
Dragon Boat Racing
Dragon boat events are a brilliant method of having fun and raising funds for charity. Please visit www.dragonboatfestivals.co.uk/charity_dragon_boat_events who we are working in partnership with. Gable Events has over 15 years experience in organising dragon boat events for fundraising, motivation, team building and fun.
Their experience ranges from the organisation of a charity dragon boat event in Windsor that raised over £100,000 to the marketing and organisation of the Milton Keynes Dragon Boat Festival which is now Britain’s largest corporate dragon boat event attracting 60 crews.
