A TEAM of Worcestershire rowers have had a busy July.

Pershore Greyhounds Dragon Boat Group had a “great time” holding a dragon boating event at Cotswold Water Park last week, with teams racing each other before a closely fought contest in the final.

Earlier in July the group took part in the Pershore River Festival, inviting members of the public to give the sport a try, while at the annual Spice Adventure event the club hosted crews from all over the country.

And all of this came after the Worcestershire group completed the iconic Venice Vogalonga, a 32km regatta around the waterways of the Italian city in May.

The club is now urging people to come along and have a go at its regular sessions on Thursdays at 6.30pm and Sundays at 10.30am.

Participants meet at the Angel Hotel Gardens in Pershore.
