Broadwater Dragons Blog!

Hi all past and present paddlers, Krystal has organised the new season’s first Come and Try day on  Sunday 17th, 9:30 am at Emerald Lakes.

Hi All,

Currumbin’s Dragonboat Regatta is on Saturday 15th September.

First race is at 8 a.m.

Expected finish for the Sports races is 12-30 p.m. to be followed by an afternoon of Corporate races.

Everyone is to be there on Currumbin Creek, east of the RSL Club, NO LATER THAN 7-15A.M.

Everyone is welcome, including all the “newbies” as this is great fun, and a great learning experience.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP IF YOU ARE ABLE/UNABLE TO ATTEND THIS REGATTA.

Cost will be $10 for the day’s racing.

Thanks.
Karen

Hi Club and State crews,
Attached is a draft and I mean draft of the race schedule for the Nationals.
Please have a careful look to make sure your State or Club Crews are entered in the correct races.
There have been numerous changes with clubs/states entering races then pulling out then in again.
This is not an opportunity for you to decide to withdraw or enter a new race category.
If I have made a genuine mistake and you can prove to me that you have already notified the organising committee in writing/email of your change then I will amend the race schedule accordingly.
In terms of the order of races, this is modelled on last years Nationals minus the junior crews, because there are no entries.
Regards
Vic Fazakerley

Hi All,

Finally have found out date for State Dragonboat titles next March.

At Caloundra on Sunday 9th March.

My thoughts already for this are to sleep in own bed on Saturday night, get a good night’s sleep, then all meet early and travel by bus to Caloundra.

Janine is looking for a later start so we can travel up on the day.

If you want to travel up Saturday night and stay in a motel, that is up to you.

Think about it, and let me know your thoughts. If I need to book accommodation, that can be done as a group if enough are looking to travel on Saturday.

Thanks.

Karen

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
