Monmouth Raft Race in Celebration of our 20th Anniversary – September 2012
We entered two teams in the 47th annual Monmouth Raft Race which took place over a 6.5 mile course on the river Wye in celebration of us having now been in business for 20 years. In doing so we raised over £1000.00 for charity. The race was organised by the Rotary Club of Monmouth in support of St David`s Hospice Care.
We all had a great time and both teams made it to the end without sinking the only casualty being one broken paddle which in itself, we feel was something of an achievement!
The Jolly Gardeners team (raft No. 143, grounds maintenance staff in bright pink t-shirts) came in 36th overall out of 66 raft entries with a time of 1:29:29 and The Turfinators team (raft No. 144, hard and soft landscape staff in bright green t-shirts) came in just 17 seconds behind. For first timers we were very happy with our results and we have all vowed to be back on the water again next year with new improved Mark II rafts.

We would like to thank everyone who supported us - We`ve had a great time!
