Dragon boats

What better way is there to spend a Sunday afternoon in June? We were under the trees by the river, watching fit young people showing off their prowess.

The Dragon Boat Challenge is another brainwave of Kingston Rotary. 21 teams entered this year, all contributing to the chosen charity of the Rainbow Trust.

Some were experienced paddlers from dragon boat clubs, but most were charity teams who only venture into the boats once a year.

The fastest non-club team was, I'm delighted to say, a Kingston team: the Dickerage Dragons.  Here they are celebrating their win.
