Centralis Fund Raising & Charity Events

16th May 2009, Stratford Upon Avon, Warwickshire

Raising funds for the Anthony Nolan Trust

The Centralis Vikings took to the Avon again with an undefeated record in dragon boat racing.

The undefeated record lasted until the final race where the crew lost by a dragon's head.

Racing against assorted ninjas, super-heroes and Lara Croft, the Centralis Vikings came in a creditable 6th overall out of 21 boat crews, raising well over £1,000 for a very worthwhile charity.
