SIR,

Time is quickly running out to join the annual Monmouthshire raft race.

The race, which is organised by the Rotary Club of Monmouth with funds going to St David's Foundation Hospice Care, is taking place this Sunday (4th September), starting at Monmouth Rowing Club.

The raft race is a six-mile stretch from Monmouth Rowing Club to Whitebrook, starting at 12noon and expected to finish at around 4pm.

The raft race is a great day out for the whole family.

Last year, 67 rafts and crews took part. We're hoping to get the same level of support this year to help raise vital funds for St David's Foundation.

Call 01633 271364 for more information.
