Well done to Jo Barron-Perry and the rest of the Rio team for putting on such a successful event.
The challenge is on for the next regional event.
It doesn't have to compete with this but if you are interested in organising something in your area put your hand up - if you let me know we can provide support. It just takes someone to get up and do it!
Cheers,
Sabina
