It is great to see we won the raft construction trophy demonstrating we are improving our construction and knotting skills to a very high level. A big “BRAVO” must go to Chris B who made an excellent Olympic flag which really decorated our raft well.

A HUGE thanks also goes to Kooka for all the organising he did to bring it all together and all the other leaders and parents who worked in the back and foreground to make it happen.

We had a great time.
