DUST off your paddles and sign up for this year's Dragon Boat Race.

The Rotary Club of Abingdon will hold the annual event on the south bank of the River Thames, near to Abingdon Lock, on Sunday, May 11.

A dragon boat is similar to a long canoe and needs a team of 16 paddlers and a drummer. Teams can register at abingdon-rotary.org.uk or email db2008@abingdon-rotary.org.uk
