Grantham Royal Mail raises over £1,500 for charity in Newark Dragon Boat Race

A Royal Mail team has raised over £1,500 for charity after competing in a boat race.

The Grantham team participated in the Newark Dragon Boat Race on Sunday (September 17).

They raised £1,500 for two “wonderful” children’s charities, including Beaumond House Hospice, in Newark, and the Children’s Bereavement Centre, in Newark.

Abigail Staff, a Grantham postwoman, said: “We can say we did a lot better than last year resulting in an 11th place out of 36 teams, just missing out on the semi final by seconds.

“So you never know, next year, third time lucky, we may do better.

“The river bank was full of spectators which was great to see.”
