On Saturday 26th June 2010, all staff from aql will be competing in a Dragon boat race set at Clarence Dock ,Leeds in aid of Leeds Community Foundation (more on them later).

We have numerous 250 metre heats over the course of the day in a 40ft long boat that will be powered by a team of 16 aql paddlers (in fancy dress) and a drummer, with more than 100 races planned over the course of the day. It will be a great fun filled day competing against 40 other firms including Carlsberg, DLA Piper, Grant Thornton, Hammonds and KPMG.

The Sponsorship money that we raise will go towards the Leeds Community Foundation, which supports more than 3,000 community groups and charities working in some of the most disadvantaged parts of Leeds and distributed over £9m in grants since it was established in 2005, sharing out more than £3.8m in the 2008/09 financial year alone.

It would be great if you could spare some change for this great cause and if you’re free come along and offer us some support on the day....

Thanks

Team aql
