| Cheese Rolling in Gloucestershire |
There are certain high profile events in the UK that make you realise summer is here like the cheese rolling in Gloucestershire, the man powered flying machines at the Birdman of Bognor and the very serious boating event, Cowes Week on the Isle of Wight. However, not all the boating events during Cowes Week are as prestigious as the class events but with unrivalled enthusiasm, the competitors of the Cowes Cardboard Boat Race take their event very seriously and last year drew a larger crowd than some of the main racing events. Now in its third year and raising money for UKSA, the Cardboard Boat Race takes place on 7th August at 3pm. Seemingly, when you register for the race, you are given a free starter pack which according to the instructions “contains everything needed to make a boat.” Hmmm some duct tape and a cardboard box maybe?
