Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Patricia Logue, has encouraged as many members of the public as possible to back this Saturday’s Rock the Boat World Record attempt in the city centre.

The bid to break the record for the biggest ever line of people taking part in the famous sit down dance will take place on Shipquay Street on Saturday at 11.30am.

The event is being held to raise funds for the Mayor’s chosen charities for her year in office, the Foyle Hospice and the Ryan McBride Foundation.

A pre-regisration desk will be setup in Foyleside Shopping Centre on Thursday 2nd and Friday May 3rd from 10am – 6pm and the public can also register online at https://register.enthuse.com/ps/event/ROCKTHEBOATWORLDRECORDATTEMPT

The cost of registration is £10 for adults and £5 for Under 16s.

Galway-based Charity Ability West currently hold the world record attempt involving 1,809 people on Salthill Promenade.

“This event has really captured the public’s imagination and it promises to be a fun day out and a brilliant spectacle in our city centre,” said Mayor Logue.

“I’ve been really grateful to all the schools, community groups and sports clubs who have helped promote the event by posting their own Rock the Boat lines on social media.

“There’s going to be a great atmosphere in the town this Saturday with the Jazz Festival I would love to see you there for plenty of craic and hopefully a new world record!”

Event organiser Noel McMonagle from the Foyle Hospice added: “We see this as a very good opportunity to raise much needed funds for two local charities and at the same time have a bit of fun!

“We will lift the town with our record attempt and bring everyone together in a fun carnival way – so let’s rock this boat and rock this town!

“With your support we will do it and help Foyle Hospice and The Ryan McBride Foundation provide their services in our community.”
