STOP PRESS - BIDBOROUGH DRAGONS TAKE BRONZE MEDAL!!!

Huge thanks to our brilliant supporters on the day who cheered the mighty Bidborough Dragons on to an incredible 3rd place finish in Europe's biggest Dragonboat event. After 3 years of hard work and near-misses there was an overwhelming feeling of pride and satisfaction among the crew to have finally achieved that spot on the podium. With only 0.97 seconds separating Bidborough from the gold medal, the inquest has already begun into whether it really was such a good idea to have that second piece of pork pie at lunchtime.
