The race raft raises money each year for St David’s Hospice and is sponsored by sponsored by DHL, Basepoint, Mandarin Stoner, Siltbuster and Module IT.
Monmouth rotary president, Rees Rogers, said: “Monmouth Rotary Club have been organising the Monmouth Raft Race for 14 years and in that time the event has gone from strength to strength so much so that this year we are having to limit numbers of rafts entered to 100.
“We have cemented a unique bond with St David’s Hospice Care over the last twelve years that we have been working with them as our nominated charity in the raft race and look forward to helping raise a record amount of money them again this time.”
Entry to the Monmouth Raft Race 2016 costs £75 per raft including a commitment to raise a minimum of £100 per raft in sponsorship.
