Rugby Sport for the Disabled Association (RSDA) is a registered charity[1] based in Rugby, Warwickshire that exists to promote and provide sport, recreation and leisure activities for disabled people in the local area.
As well as their regular Saturday morning activities they were attending competitions around The Midlands and going on twinning trips abroad.
The twinning trips eventually became tripartite weekends involving Rugby in England, Évreux in France and Rüsselsheim in Germany.
During those 20 years the RSDA raft had won many races against able-bodies crews, had shot many weirs and had raced across the Menai Strait, navigating the treacherous tidal rapids, known as the Swellies.
Karen Davidson (athlete), an RSDA member, won four medals, including a Gold at the 1984 Summer Paralympics in New York City.
