2010 Dragon Boat Racing

As in previous years, rain or shine, the 2010 Dragon Boat Racing was a great event. It had all the ingredients …
practising on dry land
The dry run as teams tried out their oars before boarding …
Vikings waiting to board Dragon Boats
The fancy dress teams waiting to board…
Banging the Drum
The team leader banging the drum…
People watching
The crowds watching and cheering the teams, with stalls and a funfair behind…
Pirates boat drives on
The teams powering down the course as hawaii-five-o played…
Abingdon School Team Hug
The Team Spirit…

And of course raising money for good causes… Each team raised money for charity through sponsorship. The target was £2000 per team, with one third of the money going to the Rotary Club of Abingdon Vesper’s charity fund and two thirds to the team’s nominated charity.

    Dragon boats and ‘Hawaii 5-0″ ?? Slightly mixed ethnicity perhaps ?

    Nevertheless, all good fun.
