Story

We are Team Reevo! Thanks for taking the time to read our story...!

Those of you who remember our entry into the 2010 Dragon Boat World Cup will no doubt remember the fantastic day we had as we took to the water as 'Team Greece' in support of the charity set up in our friend Tim Reeve's name to raise money for Leukaemia Research, the ilness that sadly took him from us in 2005.

This year representing the Olympic Sport of Beach Volleyball (womens of course and dressed accordingly!) we will take to the water again, and battle against 32 other teams each representing an Olympic sport, in a day of races along the River Chelmer (running through the heart of Britain's newest city CHELMSFORD, ESSEX.

Hosted by The Time Reeve Charitable Trust, The 2012 Essex Dragon Boat Games is to be held on SUNDAY 8th JULY and is to be largest event of its kind the UK has ever seen. Held in conjunction with the the Olympic torch celebrations, there'll be a race every 10 minutes from 10am to 5pm, entertainment for young and old, live music and lots more to see and do. A fun day for all the family, competitors and spectators alike.

Oh and... to help us on our way we have enlisted the help of team GB paddler Timothy Love as Team reevo's ringer, we mean 'Technical Coach'... 

This Year it's serious... 2nd Place is not an option!

So please please get behind our team, we are looking for all types of support, from individuals to companies, to spectator support on the day... 

If you are a company looking to sponsor the team please contact Team Captain Tristan Barrett on 020 3627 6034 8am-5.30pm

Thankyou!
