Dragon Boat Race On Sunday 23 May, Team Jaguar and Team Leamington took part in a Dragon Boat Race on belhalf of Ryder-Cheshire Volunteers in Myton Park in Warwick. It was a fun filled day for all 13 teams who participated in the beautiful sunshine! After three one on one heats (each one getting more and more competitive!) it came down to three boats in the final race, one of which was Team Jaguar. The team, coming from Jaguar Land Rover, raced across the finish taking 2nd place! Raising over £6,000 between the two teams, they helped to make Ryder-Cheshire Volunteers the most supported charity of the day! Ian Luckett, Training Development Manager congratulated his team, "Firstly congratulations to everybody yesterday for their efforts both with the event itself and in the general organisation. Needless to say we have one big winner on the day which is the Ryder-Cheshire Volunteer charity and if all money comes in it looks like we will have raised close to £4000 in the end. Additionally we also remember we had a great day ourselves and again proved that JLR is a Thanks to everyone involved with the event; our sponsors, our participants and Funraisers for organizing such a fun and important day!

Parachute Jumps Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph! Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below. Well you can stop imagining because it's real and you can do it at an airfield near you by reserving a place to skydive for RCV!
