Entrance Fee: £3 / Players Fee: £2.50

This is the minimum fee, any further donations would be greatly appreciated.

Email confirmation will be requested at the door.

More Details:

Teams from SARA were deployed to search the river in Tewkesbury, supporting Gloucestershire Constabulary. Very sadly, during the afternoon and working with the Police, one of the SARA teams helped to find and recover the body of a young man. This was the fifth day on which SARA teams had been deployed to search for the man, who was known to have entered the River Avon in Tewkesbury on the evening of Friday 19 December.

Teams and boats from SARA Stations at Beachley, Cotswolds, Sharpness and Wyre Forest, as well as Tewkesbury, have all been involved at various times. We are also very grateful for support from our colleagues at Avon & Somerset Search and Rescue on 24 December.

The search was complicated by the conditions of the river, with its level changing hugely over the past few days.

The thoughts of all our members are with the friends and family of the man concerned at this most difficult time.
