Recruiters Work Together at the Salford Dragon Boat Race
09 May 2016
This weekend First Recruitment Group took part in the Salford Dragon Boat Raceat Salford Quays.
Racing took part of a beautiful sunny day, along the whole length of Ontario Dock, in Salford Quays, which is around 180 meters. 25 teams took part with each being given a minimum of three timed races the single fastest time only counting towards Grand Final qualification.
Each team was raising money for fantastic charities. We were supporting Warrington based charity, the Foundation for Peace, who work nationally to support those affected by terrorism and conflict, supporting young people to turn away from violence, and work to build stronger communities.
Although we were 2 team members short and it was our first time taking part in the race, we didn’t let our inexperience hold us back. We didn't win overall but we did see a massive improvement throughout the day improving our time of 1 min 11 secs in the first race, to 56.26 secs in the last race, which we are proud to say, we won.
