The team are back at the Royal Three Counties Show today.
There will be more throwline antics, more climbing wall action, more photo opportunities on the quads and kayaks.
We're opposite the STIHL stand. We might not have chainsaws and axes, but we've got incredible volunteers.

It's amazing how people just drop in to say hi to our incredible volunteers. Some folks just walk up to the WMSAR zone, others use more elaborate ways.
Whatever your method, you'll always get a smile on arrival 😀😃😁

As well as fundraising today in the Tesco Extra in #Shrewsbury we also received a community grant of £1400 to go towards our operational running costs for river deployment and patrols.
For a small 100% volunteer run charity, this is a massive help for us.
