“Now approaching the third year of ‘boards on the broads’ I look back to how this started and why I do this!
The first year was born out of necessity of ensuring business professionals were given the chance to network at a time when the country went into lockdown. Having raised £1,000 for EACH Charity, I made the decision to run this event for the second year. With over 100 people taking to the water at the same time as learning a new sport, this enabled people to network with each other in a fun way whilst raising money for worthy a charity. Now entering the third year with the same passion I had in year one, we very much look forward to sharing some fun times with Norfolk professionals on the boards in those summer evenings.”
