Ross regatta raises almost £1,000 for Age UK Wyvern

Volunteers from the charity’s shop and Ross Pride helped manage car parking for the event, attracting hundreds.

The two-day regatta was attended by the Mayor of Ross, Councillor Linden Delves, who has chosen Age UK Wyvern as one of his charities of the year, and who gave out prizes to the winning teams.

A series of races took place on the River Wye in the 150th anniversary of the original regatta.

The event is organised by the Ross Rowing Club and features teams from across the country.

This year, Age UK sponsored the over-60s age group category, which was won by Evesham Rowing Club.

Karel Bretveld from Age UK Wyvern said: “We were delighted to support this very exciting event and would like to thank Ross Rowing Club for the chance to get involved.

“We really appreciate their dedication and enthusiasm, and of course the continuing support of the mayor, which has raised funds to help older people in need.”
