"Rub a dub dub - there were more than three men in a tub when Ringwood Brewery employees Steve G, Steve C, Will, and Chris, took to the water in the Lymington Bath Race. The annual event, which was sponsored by Ringwood Brewery, attracted over 20 competitors, each with a self-fashioned watercraft made using an old bathtub. Racers took part in a series of heats before competing in the grand final with proceeds from the day being donated to the RNLI. The brewery team managed to make their way through several heat before an unfortunate collision saw them go down with their ship. Chris Keating from Ringwood Brewery said: "This was a fantastic charity event that truly sums up the eccentric nature of the British people. We gave the race our best shot in the Boondoggle Bath Boat, but some ungentlemanly conduct from one of our competitors saw our vessel collapse in spectacular style."
