THERE BE RIVER DRAGONS: On Saturday, 6th July 2024, a team from Avon Protection headquarters in Wiltshire took on Dragon Boat racing on the River Avon to support the Felix Fund - the bomb disposal charity. The British Army, Royal Navy Divers, Metropolitan Police, and local rowing clubs were among the 13 crews who rowed hard throughout the day.   The event featured timed heats and a final, with the Avon Protection crew securing a very respectable 3rd place against some fierce competition. It was a fantastic day for all involved, filled with excitement and camaraderie.   The Dragon Boat race was in aid of the Felix Fund, a charity supporting Military and Counter-Terrorism Police bomb disposal teams. The event raised nearly £20,000 for the cause!   For more information about the Felix Fund and the race, https://lnkd.in/epR5sFQ4   MORE: avon-protection.com 📸: Robert Midgley #AvonProtection #AdvanceWithConfidence #DragonBoatRace #FelixFund #CharityEvent #TeamAvon #RaceTheDragon #SupportingHeroes #EOD #lawenforcement #military #CounterTerrorism
