Paddlefest
On Saturday 5th September at 8:30am, 20 members of Harrogate Round Table left Boroughbridge in a fleet of two man Canadian canoes to raise £5,000 for the Special Care Baby Unit at Harrogate District Hospital which will be used to buy intravenous infusion pumps which help premature babies survive by delivering very small doses of medicine.
The team canoed from Boroughbridge 20 miles along the River Ouse arriving, in true Table style, at the Kings Arms in York at 5pm. After 8 and half hours in canoes there were many aching backs, sore shoulders and tired arms; just enough strength left to raise a pint glass!
