The Doerr Dallas ‘Family’ Summer Day Out
It has become a cherished tradition at Doerr Dallas Valuations that our summer party coincides with the Henley Royal Regatta, and this year was no exception. Yesterday was filled with fun, laughter, and plenty of conversation—all made even better when the sun finally made an appearance!
The day began in style with a glass of champagne over breakfast, setting the perfect tone for the celebrations ahead. From there, we made our way to the river for a truly special experience aboard the ‘Charles Cooper Henderson’, a beautifully restored Dunkirk Little Ship. This historic vessel provided a front-row seat to the rowing action, allowing us to soak in the atmosphere of one of the most prestigious events in the sporting calendar.
After a leisurely cruise along the Thames, we returned to our private mooring for a relaxed and delicious sit-down lunch. With fine food, flowing conversation, and a stunning riverside setting, it was the perfect way to continue the day. Afternoon tea followed—a classic English treat—before a friendly yet competitive game of boules on the lawn. Of course, there may have been time for another glass of something refreshing to round off the occasion!
It was particularly special to see just how much our team has grown. In fact, we’ve expanded so much that we can no longer all fit on the boat! A wonderful sign of how far we’ve come as a company and a reminder of the close-knit ‘family’ atmosphere we have always valued.
A huge thank you to Vintage Days Out, Richard, and the entire team for organising such a memorable day. We are already looking forward to next year’s celebrations!
