Probably the best raft team in Madley

Welcome to MadSat Raft Team

We're a friendly group of like minded people of all abilities, who regularly race rafts on rivers, canals and even at sea across the UK with the aim of - 

  • Winning as often as we can (not that we're competitive or anything!) and making sure that we have a smile on our faces
  • Raising as much as we can for charity - so far we have managed to raise over £40,000 to help a number of deserving local and national causes
  • .... and most important of all,  having as much fun as we can while we're at it

... so why not join the team

Come and find out what we're all about

We meet for regular training on the south side bank of the River Wye just outside the village of Eaton Bishop (SatNav co-ordinates 52.05734° N, 2.80455° W) and there's ample parking on site. It's fun, so come with a sense of humour and sometimes we even find time for a swift drink afterwards!

Call Nick on 07935 204176 or e-mail : nick335wood@btinternet.com for training dates and times

"We try to enter as many crews into as many races as we can, whether they be all male, all female or mixed crews, but the most important thing is that we are all one team".
