Hi Paddlers in NSW and QLD

Grafton Dragon Boats will be taking a team and our boat to this event on the 29th June 2008. The cost is $10 per person, paddlers only pay.

They are looking forward to having Dragon Boats join them for the marathon.

Please contact John MacDonald by phone 02 6680 4040 or email johndaniel@exemail.com.au

Details on their website http://www.community.better.net.au/rowing/

I believe there is a newly formed Dragons Abreast Club at Murwillumbah, please forward this email to them if you have their details.

There will be TV coverage of this event, this is a good opportunity to fly the Dragon Boat flag.

Regards
Robin & Maree

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
