The Mayor attended the Awards Ceremony for the Wells Moat Boat Race on Sunday 13th October at Wells Football Club. Held annually on August Bank Holiday Monday, the races saw perfect weather conditions this year, drawing one of the largest crowds in recent memory.
The Mayor is shown here with two members of the 'Pirates of the Full Moon', team who continued their winning streak and took home the lion’s share of the trophies!
The 'Thomas the Tank' raft, created by the Likely Lads team, won the best raft trophy in the senior category and in the junior section, the Wells and Glastonbury Young Farmers Club's 'Floating Bull Calves' took the top award.
The Mayor would like to thank the organisers of the Wells Moat Boat Race and Awards, the City of Wells Lions, the local businesses who supported the event, the water safety team and St. John’s Ambulance who provided the First Aid Services on the day as well as agreeing to have the Mayor as a team member in their boat!
