⛵ Over £700 Raised for Mountbatten Isle of Wight! 💙
We're delighted to have presented £722.82 to Mountbatten Isle of Wight following our annual Charity Model Yacht Race at Ryde Canoe Lake.
A fantastic 15 Marblehead class yachts took to the water for a day of close racing, with Chris Brooks taking the overall win. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who came along and donated, we raised £653.15 on the day, with additional contributions bringing the final total to £722.82.
Earlier this month, members of Ryde Model Yacht Club met in Mountbatten Isle of Wight's Chelsea Garden to present the cheque. This donation continues our long tradition of supporting local charities through our annual fundraising events.
A huge thank you to:
👏 Everyone who attended and donated.
👏 Our volunteers who helped make the day such a success.
👏 Jewson, for their generous sponsorship.
👏 And, of course, Mountbatten Isle of Wight for the incredible care and support they provide to our Island community.
We're proud to support such an important local charity through the sport we love.
