Pebley Beach confirmed as sponsor of Swindon Dragon Boat Race

Swindon’s famous dragon boat race, which will be held at Coate Water Leisure Park this weekend, will be sponsored by motor dealership Pebley Beach.

Work colleagues, local clubs and teams of friends will be coming together to form a team of between 12 and 20 rowers to race across the lake, competing for glory and a trophy. 

There will also be a prize for the team in the best fancy dress.

The 40 foot long dragon boats are decorated head and tail as Chinese dragons, in a far east tradition that dates back 2000 years. Last year’s event attracted a crowd of 1,500 spectators.

The race, organised by Swindon Phoenix Rotary Club, starts at 10am on Sunday, June 25. Competitors’ entry fees will be donated to charities supported by Rotary.

Dominic Threlfall, managing director of Hyundai and Suzuki dealership Pebley Beach, said: “We’re very pleased to be associated with this year’s event, and hope it raises a lot of money for charity.

“We look forward to meeting spectators and contestants on Sunday.”

Financial Disclosure

Pebley Beach Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Pebley Beach Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
