Newlyn Raft Race - the town hopes to see it back in style after missing out last year |
Committee chair Marcia Bell was disappointed the 2012 event failed to go ahead but has high hopes for this year's race on Sunday, August 4. "The raft race is a wonderful family day out," she said. "It was such a shame that it couldn't go ahead – it's the biggest fundraiser of the year. "It's a huge day. Without the raft race we wouldn't be able to go ahead."
Mrs Bell and her team have big plans for 2013, with stalls, a live music and a barbecue on offer. "We have taken it on and we are organising it better," she said. This year individuals can pay for a specific bulb, which in turn would see that person's name on a board.
If you would like to enter the race, run a stall or help out, call Mrs Bell on 07506 701336.
