Over Easter weekend the DW canoe race takes place where hundreds of competitors paddle 125 miles and go through 77 portages. The Wokingham scouts who are going on Jamboree, including me, ran the food and some of the Marshalling of the Reading base.
Due to the amount of rain on the Friday the river became to dangerous for the canoeists and the marshals were forced to stop the race at Reading. Although very disappointing for the paddlers it meant customers so by 11pm we had taken over £1000 on refreshments. It was great fun to spend the day with the other participants and we got to know each other more.
