Matt Mock was charged with laying on a BBQ after the river marathon which was held in the grounds of Environmental Agencies cottage at Allington the finally of the day, fantastic job Matt.  Thanks have also to go to the Environmental Agency for the use of their grounds and to the people that prepared and cooked the food on the day, Christine Diaper and Debbie Smith and members of her family.

Everyone making there way to the BBQ		  
I wonder what everyone is looking at, may be it is all those people making there way to the food.

There were a lot of photographs to look through I had some 550 to look through and select from, it was very difficult but I hope the above are a good representative of the days proceedings.  I have to thank my brother Stuart Dengate, my mother Kay Dengate and daughter Hannah Dengate for providing me with the contents of their camera to go through.

There is also a Video to come, however that will take a little time to put together Matt Mock and myself will work on this over the coming months and hopefully by November we should have something up on the site, so please keep looking back.
