OVER 20 teams from across the business travel sector took part in this year's Dragon Boat Racing & Family Fun Day, representing the likes of airlines, hotels, train operators, serviced accommodation providers and TMCs. Hosted by The Business Travel Magazine


and Institute of Travel & Meetings, the event saw the team from The Business Travel & Meetings Show pip defending champions SACO to victory by just a few hundredths of a second in the final. A valiant third place was secured by Silverdoor who came back better prepared after picking up the Wooden Spoon in 2009. More than 500 people – including over 200 children – enjoyed the racing and various activities on offer, including bouncy castles, magicians, an assault course, balloon modellers, face painters and gladiator duels! A raffle helped raise nearly £1,000 for two charities supported by TBTM and the ITM, with a top prize of return tickets to New York generously provided by Continental Airlines. Other prizes were kindly donated by Accor, Eurostar, Inntel, Dolphin House, Jumeirah, Shangri-La, The Appointment Group and Principal Hayley Hotels. The Business Travel Magazine's publisher David Clare said: “This was a great day out for all concerned and an excellent opportunity for colleagues and rivals within the business travel industry to turn their competitive spirit towards raising money for some great causes.” The event was organised by Team Activity


Group (TAG) and was generously hosted at The Oakley Court Hotel by Principal Hayley Hotels, with ground transportation kindly provided by Laneways.
