The atmosphere, fun, excitement and energy of a dragon boat festival is second to none, as we found out last year at the 2017 Kingston Rotary Club Dragon Boat Race. It was, due to the absolute enthusiasm and competitive spirit brought to the day by our amazing paddlers in 4 boats, the best day Momentum could have hoped for. Can you help us make 2018 even more memorable?

If you would like to help us paddle to victory, or beat the drums, and raise funds, please email info@moment-um.org now for more information – be quick as the boats are filling fast! We are asking for a £25 registration fee and minimum sponsorship pledge of £100 per paddler, or talk to us if you have a complete team of 14 paddlers to fill one whole boat. Novices are welcome, no previous experience is needed, just the will to win and a sense of humour!

The riverside festival on the banks of the Thames in central Kingston is a great, fun day out too, so why not round up your family, friends, and come along to help cheer us to victory.

Check out our 2016 paddlers, to give you a flavour of what it's all about. All the crew were complete novices, with a touch of competitive spirit! What a fantastic job #TeamMo!

As a member of #TeamMo you will get:

• The best day out on the river Thames
• A Momentum t-shirt
• Support throughout with your fundraising
• A huge thank you from all of us!

Fundraising tip: wear your Mo fancy-dress headgear on your commute or to take the dog for a walk and get everyone to sponsor you
