The annual Dragon Boat Festival has become a much-anticipated event in our calendar, and we’re proud to take part year after year. Our enthusiastic GME team hits the water to compete in the races—not just for the thrill and challenge, but to raise vital funds for local charities that make a real difference in our communities.

The festival is more than just a race. It’s a celebration of community spirit, teamwork, and generosity, bringing together local businesses, organisations, and families in a shared effort to support good causes. With drums beating, boats slicing through the water, and crowds cheering on from the riverside, the energy is electric—and we’re always proud to be a part of it.

Beyond the competition, it’s a brilliant opportunity for our staff to bond, represent GME in a fun and meaningful way, and engage with the wider community in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.

Whether we take home a trophy or just a few sore arms, the real victory is the support we help generate for the incredible local charities that benefit from this event. At GME, we believe that giving back should be part of who we are—and the Dragon Boat Festival is a perfect way to have fun while doing good.
