Holy Diggers

The team is a collaboration with Holy Trinity Church, the Department of Archaeology at Reading University and Friends of Cookham Abbey.
We are so thrilled to have our Church, Holy Trinity, up and running again, having had a wonderful refurb, and we look forward to welcoming you to enjoy our new space.
We are planning some great events, so do keep an eye out!!
Throughout the Summer we have welcomed many visitors to both the Church and the Dig, building friendships, and strengthening community ties.
Entering the Dragon Boat Racing together, feels like a joyful way to carry that Spirit of Partnership on to the water, celebrating teamwork, fun and Community Spirit.
Over the past four summers the Department of Archaeology has been unearthing a royal monastery that’s been hidden beneath the Church's paddock for over 1,000 years.
It’s very rare to find early medieval monastic archaeology in such a good state of preservation.
The Friends of Cookham Abbey was set up in 2022 to raise funds to support the post-excavation conservation and analysis of the excavation and to help people get involved with our research through education and outreach.

The Oar-Some Caring Crew

Right at Home is proud to join this year’s Cookham Regatta Dragon Boat Race! We are a local, award-winning home care provider, delivering high-quality care and companionship to older adults and adults living with disabilities in the comfort of their own homes.
Our team of dedicated care professionals is coming together not just to race, but to raise vital funds for Dementia Adventure—a fantastic charity that supports people living with dementia to enjoy the outdoors and live well.
With oars in hand and plenty of team spirit, we’re ready to make some waves, have fun, and paddle for a cause that means so much to the people we care for every day. Let’s go, Right at Home!

Paddle Snatches

Meet the Paddle Snatches!
We're a dynamic team of Crossfit enthusiasts from Crossfit Wycombe ready to take on the dragon boat racing challenge!  With our fitness backgrounds and team spirit, we're eager to paddle our way to success. Expect high energy, laughter, and a healthy dose of competition from our mixed crew. No idea what we're doing, but we're ready to give it our all and have a blast on the water!

TS JAGUAR

The crew is drawn from the Ship's Company of TS JAGUAR, the High Wycombe Unit of the Sea Cadet Corps (SCC). The SCC’s mission is to inspire young people to achieve their potential through challenge and nautical adventure, guided by the customs and traditions of the Royal Navy.
Being based in a landlocked county is no bar to Cadets and staff enjoying many different activities afloat, and this will be our first year trying the exciting sport of Dragon Boating!

The Sports Bar at Summerleaze Park

The crew will be made up of some of our valued customers who regularly drink at The Sports Bar (Summerleaze Park) in Maidenhead. This is our first time entering this race so expectations are currently not set very high! The team training will involve lots of arm exercises at the bar!

Maidenhead Wendas

10 women (master) rowers + one small person swapping sculls for dragons in a bid to steal the Dragon Plate from our male counterparts. Watch out boys, we're coming for you!

Beyond Walls

We’re the Beyond Walls crew – usually found lifting barbells and doing workouts, but today we’ve swapped dumbbells for paddles! We might not be the fastest on the water, but we’ll definitely be the loudest on the bank and the smiliest in the boat.
