If you’re in or around South Manchester this bank holiday weekend. Then why not call in and watch the Northenden Boat Race? Taking place for the 19th year, the boat race is the brain child of Lord Cameron and Captain Chaplington-Smythe. Also in attendance will be Johnny Disco, Sir Oik-a-lot and Professor Memory Muddle. The race itself is a 2-man dinghy race on the River Mersey in Northenden. All proceeds raised goes to the Christie Cancer Hospital in Manchester. The Lord Mayor of Manchester will award the trophies and there will be tea and cakes on the village green! Hurrah!
Lord Cameron
