Teams from accountancy firm Prime Chartered Accountants rowed their way to over £1500 for charity in the annual Dragon Boat regatta at Stratford-upon-Avon.

The two teams, made up of staff and directors from Prime's offices in Coventry and Solihull, raised the cash for the Anthony Nolan Trust when they joined 21 others from across the region in the regatta. 

The 'Prime Paddlers' and 'Prime Evil' boats, each with a drummer to beat the rhythm as the teams rowed, took part in three races in their 30ft Hong Kong- style dragon vessels, while many friends and families cheered from the banks of the Avon.

Kevin Johns, director at Prime, said: "We try to support a charity each year and this was a great way for us to get involved while having some fun.

"Each team member raised sponsorship money and between us all we will be contributing over £1500 to help assist the Anthony Nolan Trust in their fantastic work."
