Northern Challenge, Sunday, 13.11.22

Amathus, Pool of Life and Preston Dragons got together at Liverpool Watersports Centre for a session of fun races.

The day started with an Eye Dotting Ceremony to awaken Hope, Pool of Life’s very first dragon boat, who has been off the water for a while having much-needed repairs done.

As it was Remembrance Sunday, we took time out before racing to remember all those who have fought and died in the line of duty to keep us free.

Then it was race time!

Although there was a bit of chocolate envy at prize time…
