TEAMS can still enter an unusual river race in Monmouth next month.

Eight to ten paddlers, plus a drummer, are needed to race one of the ornate Chinese dragon boats.

The 250m course finishes at Monmouth Rowing Club.

Organisers promise it is exciting, colourful and not previous experience is required - just plenty of team spirit.

Participants will also be helping to raise money for St David's Foundation Hospice Care.
