More than 80 confirmed in promotional merchandise race

Over 80 participants have registered to take part in this year's British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA) dragon boat race.

The event will take place on July 17th and will cost £900 plus VAT per boat for those wishing to take part.

It is the second time the dragon boating race has been held by the BPMA.

The BPMA suggests bringing along staff, managers, clients and suppliers in order to brake down barriers and build teams.

One drummer and ten rowers sit in each boat, which mimics the ancient Chinese tradition of Dragon Boat Racing, the origins of which have been traced back some 2,000 years.

It will take place at the Eton College Rowing Centre, Dorney Lake in Windsor.

The BPMA is the UK's industry body encouraging the promotion of best practice around the sourcing, manufacturing and distribution of corporate gifts and promotional products.
