Mayor Alastair Milne Home and wife Gill, centre,
BANBURY’S mayor and consort helped mark the one-year countdown until the start of the London 2012 Olympics.
Alastair Milne Home and his wife Gill, pictured in the main canoe, took to the water at Woodgreen open air-pool, Banbury, to celebrate the date.
Mrs Milne Home said: “It was the first time in a canoe for me, it was sheer fear.
“I really enjoyed it, but it was a bit of a white knuckle ride for me.”
The mayoral couple also watched a game of water polo and afterwards there was a free swimming event.
