The Bath and Bristol Young Member’s Panel is delighted to announce its third cardboard boat race, following two successful (read: extremely wet) races! We are offering you the chance to build your own boat and race (or sink!) in front of the crowds at the Bristol Harbour Festival. 

This is your opportunity to build a vessel made entirely of cardboard which is capable of making it to the end of our course and back. The fastest boat to complete our circuit will win the race. The most innovative and the most ridiculous boats to enter will also be rewarded.

If all that doesn't float your boat, MyFutureMyChoice is looking for volunteers to help their Learning Ships Boat Race. Volunteers will be giving groups of children an opportunity to build their very own miniature sailing boats which will be raced directly before the adult race. If you are interested in volunteering and getting involved to support this event by helping the children build their own boats check out the poster here (Young Shipwrights). or email Hugh: hugh@myfuturemychoice.co.uk

This event is open to all, but teams wishing to enter should declare their interest by the 10th of July 2015.

Please note the above times are estimates and will be confirmed closer to the event.
