OXFORDSHIRE residents will be able to see a Bangladeshi sporting spectacle on Sunday.
The Nowka Bais – which translates as boat race – will feature 18 teams from across the country going head-to-head in a 400m dash.
The race will kick off at noon at Falcon Rowing and Canoe Club at Donnington Bridge. There will also be food, a bouncy castle and face painting on offer.
Organiser Mohammed Mannan, 50, of Cowley, said: “People can expect to see a great race. It will be a lot of fun.
“It is the second biggest sport in Bangladesh, after cricket.”
