Dreamboats held a very successful regatta again this year, reports Linda Brazier.
The sun shone, people came and enjoyed the barbecue, a tipple at the bar and then home made cakes and tea.
This year the entertainment was by the rock band Samurais, who were excellent, and the ever-popular East Dorset Marching Band.
The Canoe Club, which is based at Riverside, had their ‘try a canoe’ available and some of the members took part in a very energetic game of canoe polo.
The climbing wall proved popular with the children and some adults.
There was a magnificent raffle with two lovely hampers from East Street Deli and McCarthyStone, plus gift vouchers from local shops and donation from friends.
The boat racing took place again this year with slightly fewer willing members to crew the boats. The trophy to the winning team was presented by Carol Butters the mayor.
Wimborne Radio compered the events and provided music.
Dreamboats plans to buy a boat suitable for people with disabilities to use, so the pleasures of the river are open to all.
