As in previous years, rain or shine, the 2010 Dragon Boat Racing was a great event. It had all the ingredients …
The dry run as teams tried out their oars before boarding …
The fancy dress teams waiting to board…
The team leader banging the drum…
The crowds watching and cheering the teams, with stalls and a funfair behind…
The teams powering down the course as hawaii-five-o played…
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.
Book ’em Danno!
