A team of staff and parents from the nursery at Bolton School will be taking part in the annual When You Wish Upon A Star Dragon Boat Challenge.
This is the third time the nursery has taken part in the Dragon Boat Challenge and last year they came second in the heats and third in the final — and the team says it is keen to hang on to its podium position.
The event will take place at Salford Quays and 16 rowers enlisted by the nursery will take to the water on Saturday, August 16, and they will be one of 36 boats taking part in the race.
Money raised will go towards sending a group of children from the Greater Manchester area to Lapland to meet Father Christmas.
