Hi All,

Please note that the Nerang Market display planned for this Sunday has been postponed, and also the Come & Try Day for next Saturday has also been postponed to a later date.

This is due to the Coach’s busy work schedule and to the fact that Paul and I have been very busy over the past 3 weeks with the Worlds and 3 days officiating at the Dragons Abreast World Championships in Caloundra last weekend it has been difficult to get everything organized.

It will happen, just not this weekend.

Sunday 14th October- Gold Coast Chinese Dragonboat Club Regatta.  We need everyone there so we can enter 2 teams- Mixed only.  Please sign on THIS SATURDAY OR NEXT TUESDAY, and pay $10 BEFORE THE DAY for race entry fee.

ADDED TO CALENDAR-

4th Nov-Sunday-

Tri Nations Training Day with Tewaka and Brisbane River Dragons at Colmslie, followed by BBQ.  We will be taking a big bus, so everyone is welcome-families and friends-for a fun day out.  BYO everything.

Thanks.
Karen
