Joanna said: "About 17 years ago they had dragon boat racing on Fairhaven Lake, and we were meant to do it again in 2020. Across the countyr there are dragon boat races that happen quite often. So I spoke to a colleague of mine and thought it was a good idea just to bring it back." Photo: Martin Bostock Photography 07717
