Thanks for taking the time to visit the Bidborough School Dragonboat Team's JustGiving page.

We will be racing at this year's Bewl Water Dragonboat Festival on September 11th, and will be aiming to surprise even ourselves by making the final - provided the judges fail to discover the lead weights secreted in the opposition boats.

Our objective is to raise sufficient money for the PTA to be able to replace the school's rather antiquarian computer equipment. We are also supporting another very worthy cause this year - DebRA - which is the national charity working on behalf of people in the UK with the genetic skin blistering condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). We will be splitting all fundraising proceeds with DebRA - you can find out more about their invaluable work at http://www.debra.org.uk/

We 22 hardy souls have been training diligently (no really) for this event and are fast becoming a well-oiled paddling machine - certainly well-oiled anyhow. We hope to see many of our supporters (and their little treasures) at the event in September. In the meantime, please be as generous as you can by making an online donation NOW!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

With many thanks for your generosity
