Ellacotts were pleased to take part in the Rotary Club of Banbury’s first community charity dragon boat festival. The festival was held in the idyllic grounds of Broughton Castle on Sunday 20th April.

The team of 10 paddlers and 1 drummer took to the water to raise funds for the Banbury Young Homeless Project (www.byhp.org.uk). Although there were some seriously competitive teams the main emphasis was on having a good time. The race took place on the Moat around Broughton Castle, the team raced three heats with timings ranging from 55.24 – 56.61 minutes which faired well alongside the 20 other teams taking part on the day.

John Thame, Partner at Ellacotts explains: “It was a fantastic day with over 300 people in attendance, an outstanding family day event; hard work but good fun and we will look to support the event next year.”
