Graham Canning, Toy Trust Committee Chairman said “This year’s Big Challenge promises to be a new and exciting event for all of the industry to get involved in. We have designed the event to be as inclusive, challenging and fun for as many people as possible with the hope that people from across the industry will get involved. I am sure this year’s Dragon Boat Tournament will be a great hit for the industry to get involved in.
