    Congratulations to all who took part in the Devizes to Westminster International Canoe race as usual some great times achieved. A big thanks to all the support crews who help feed and clothed the paddlers as they make there way down and a mention for Robert and Olivia Murphy of kilcullen cc who once again volunteered their time to Marcel at the race
    The Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Race starts in Devizes, Wiltshire and finishes just downstream of Westminster Bridge in London, opposite the Houses of Parliament. The race has been held annually over the Easter Weekend since 1948
    The race is 125 miles long and has 77 portages. The first 52 miles are along the Kennet and Avon Canal, the next 55 miles are on the River Thames and the final section is on the tidal portion of the Thames
    The race is a severe test of skill and stamina which produces a memorable sense of achievement for those successfully completing it. The non-stop version of the race is the longest non-stop canoe race in the world
