Probably the best raft team in Madley
Welcome to MadSat Raft Team 2024
We're a friendly group of like minded people of all abilities, who regularly race rafts on rivers, canals and even at sea across the UK with the aim of -
- Winning as often as we can and while doing so, making sure that we have a smile on our faces
- Raising as much as we can for charity - so far we have managed to raise over £40,000 to help a number of deserving local and national causes
- Having as much fun as we can while we're at it
our next race
Saturday, 03 August It's Paddlesports Ross to Redbrook
River Wye, and a quick 20 miles
Loads of vantage places to watch the race and all the action.

Come and find out what we're all about
We meet on the south side bank of the River Wye just outside the village of Eaton Bishop (SatNav co-ordinates 52.05734° N, 2.80455° W) and there's ample parking on site. It's fun, so come with a sense of humour and sometimes we even find time for a swift drink afterwards!

"We try to enter as many crews into as many races as we can, whether they be all male, all female or mixed crews, but the most important thing is that we are all one team".
. . . and this year we're delighted to be supporting and raising money for three amazing local charities
Hope Support Services
Hope supports children and young people aged 5-25 when someone they love has a serious illness, such as cancer or MND. Young people in Herefordshire can access the face-to-face service including school visits, activity days and youth sessions, whilst young people across the UK can chat to the team and access peer support via Hope Online.

5k Your Way
A support group with a difference that provides help to inspire and empower people impacted by cancer to live an active & fulfilling lifestyle.
We are a community-based initiative to encourage those living with and beyond cancer, families, friends, and those working in cancer services to do as much or little as you are to walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer at a local 5k Your Way parkrun event on the last Saturday of every month.
