Invertek Drives employees prepare to make a big splash - for charity

At least 160 people are expected to splash into the River Severn in Shrewsbury, Shropshire next month in an attempt to claim the coveted Coracle World Championships title.

The event, now in its 17th year, has already raised more than £350,000 for the Macmillan Cancer Support charity, with £29,500 raised at last year’s event held between the banks of the river at the Pengwern Boat Club and Quarry Park.
