Barhale are excited to be taking part in this year's Thames Water WaterAid Raft Race on 25th July. Barhale's two teams of 6, ‘Blades of Glory’ and ‘Tour de Thames’ will be embracing the ‘Rafting for Gold' theme in celebration of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris, donning their fancy dress and racing down the River Thames to raise money for WaterAid. Best of luck to both teams and thank you for your support!
