    Competition at the Bradford Dragon Boat Festival has always been fierce – and now it may have an international flavour.

    This year’s competitions, which once again will be held at Roberts Park in Saltaire, will run from 21 to 23 June and teams have already been singing up.

    Organisers said one team from outside the UK has enquired about entering, and could be travelling all the way from Bangladesh to take part.
