DRAGONBOATS, Chinese drummers and lion dancers arrived in City Park yesterday to promote a charity fundraising event to be held in Saltaire.

Lord Mayor of Bradford Councillor Mike Gibbons picked up a paddle to encourage teams to sign up for the event, in aid of his appeal.

It will be held on the River Aire at Roberts Park on Saturday, May 9, and is open to young people aged 12 and over.

To enter, call John Galt at Bradford Council, on 01274 431007.
