Titles read: "THAMES - CADETS IN CANOE RACE".

Reading, Berkshire.

Various shots of army cadets taking part in a canoe race from Reading Rowing Club to Henley Bridge. First we see the Class A single canoes, then Class B double canoes racing against one another.

General view of Sonning Lock. One of the first to arrive there is a single canoe from AAS Harrogate. The canoeist lifts his craft from the water and walks round the lock.

The eventual winners of Class B race put their boat into the water after carrying it round the lock. C/U of police officer watching. General view as the canoes go off up river. Shot taken from a canoe as it nears the finish. We see the Class B winner cross the finish line under Henley Bridge. C/U of a soldier watching.
