ONE boating experience you may be glad you did not participate in.
The annual Collingwood Raft Race kicked of in NZ this week, seeing competitors coated in a mix of rotten eggs, squid and whey, as well as flour, as they battled it out to claim the coveted Bright Shield. This year 18 rafts entered the comp, with designs incorporating bathtubs, pallets, buoys, and for one inventive team, a spa. As tradition dictates, once competitors neared the finish line, they became prey to locals standing on a near-by bridge armed with foul smelling concoctions to dump on the intrepid rafters. The race was won by team Strange One. Team members from Dairy for Life are pictured right getting into the spirit of the race.
