Broadwater Dragons Blog!

Hi, all
I am not sure if you have had a chance to look around the QDBF’s new
website, so I thought I would give you a quick run down of what is on it.
There are seven sections -
About QDBF – Covering the history of QDBF, latest news, photo gallery
and info about 2009 Nationals, and the QDBF Vision Statement.
About our sport – General info, training and accreditation info,
results and links
Corporate information – Fundings and grants acknowledgment, Dragons
Abreast, Media guide, QDBF Governance, Corporate sponsorship
information and Club Development.
In the Club Development, there is a guide called Dragon Scales. It is
a nine module guide to setting up a club from scratch with documents
templates for agendas, meeting minutes, membership forms, budget
documents, grants and funding info, press release templates and a heap
of other documents that can be used by any club.
New paddlers – a section for people interested in the sport with links
to the clubs by area
Members login – Here you will find minutes from meetings going back to
2005, Insurance documents, and other forms.
Events calendar – if there is something you would like to add, please
let me know.
Contact us.
Hopefully this website will see the sport through the next few years.
If you have anything you would like to contribute, please let me know.
Cheers, Annette

To All,
Please read below the details for the Cancer Challenge on 15th June.

Hi all Clubs,
There is a fun day planned for the 15th June in aid of Prostate Cancer Research and the Cancer Council Queensland.
This is being funded by Sanctuary Cove and is to be an annual event.
The main paddle is from Paradise Point to  Sanctuary Cove.
Please do your best to attend and support this paddle.

We are following a similar format as Broadwater’s Nerang river marathon, however this is only 6km in length.
We will also be having some ‘out and back’ sprints after arriving at Sanctuary Cove.

FEE IS $5 PER PADDLER INCLUDING A FREE SAUSAGE SIZZLE.

CAR PARKING: AT SANCTUARY COVE PARKING LOT. BE THERE AT 8.30am

BUSSES PROVIDED TO TAKE PADDLERS TO PARADISE POINT – LEAVING AT 9.00am

BOATS TO BE DROPPED OFF AT PARADISE POINT AND TRAILERS TAKEN TO SANCTUARY COVE.

RACE STARTS AT 10.30am. WITH INTERVALS AT 30sec [to be confirmed].

WATER POLICE AND AIR SEA RESCUE WILL COVER THE BOATS.

ARRIVE AT SANCTUARY COVE. [sausage sizzle]

SPRINT RACES AT 12.30pm OUT AND BACK FOR CASH PRIZES APPROX. 350M LENGTH

PRESENTATIONS AT 1.30pm BY THE LORD MAYOR THE HONOURABLE RON CLARKE.

BOATS TO BE TOWED AROUND TO BOAT RAMP FOR PICK UP.

It would be good to see club’s provide their boats free of charge for this event. Standard thing though as far as damage is concerned.

QDBF EVENTS DIRECTOR, LORRIE LEDWELL is handling the organising for the day.
Please direct all registrations to lorrie@secretreef.com.au by the 8th June.

An update will be sent out next weekend.

Thank you all and hope you can come along and start this event off on it’s inaugural paddle.

Yours in dragon boating,

Blair Gamble
