“In particular we’d like to thank the Melton Mowbray 4th Scout Group and More Coffee Co for their support again this year because without their assistance on the day, the event simply couldn’t go ahead.

“We’re already planning the canoe race for 2018 and will continue to help causes in the Melton area.”
