A huge thank you to those of you who turned out for an info session at Paradise Point yesterday.
It was decided to train on Saturdays on a weekly basis at Paradise Point and see how this goes. This may change, with more training sessions during the week added, if most are in agreeance.
Establishing a training arm of Broadwater Dragons is very exciting for our Club, and we will accommodate everyone as much as we are able to. Everyone is welcome to come along- from 12 years to 60 plus years, male and female, the young, and the young at heart, and family groups.
START DATE- SATURDAY 1ST NOVEMBER
TIME- BE THERE BY 3-45 p.m. for a 4 p.m. START ( Training session for approx 1 hour)
PLACE- PARADISE POINT FORESHORE PARK (OPPOSITE ABALONE STREET)
COST- $5 PER PERSON. THIS FEE ENABLES YOU TO TRAIN FOR 3 SESSIONS UNDER OUR INSURANCE COVER, BEFORE YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PAY THE FULL CLUB AND INSURANCE FEES OF $115 FOR THE 08-09 FINANCIAL YEAR.
WHAT TO WEAR/BRING- Wear shorts, singlet or tight fitting t-shirt, and either joggers or bare feet. Bring a water bottle, towel, change of clothes (as you may get a bit wet), and hat. And VERY CHEAP SUNGLASSES.
Dragon boating is a water sport, you get wet, and may even on the very rare occassions, tip over. Life jackets are provided for the non confident swimmers.
Please spread the word around your friends, workmates, gym buddies, who may be looking to try something different, and exciting, and FUN!!!!!!!!!
Please let me know if this DAY and TIME suits you. And also advise by email or SMS if you will be coming on the 1st November.
A dragon boat seats 20, and we need at least 10 to get the boat into the water, and to get it moving. Everyone is super keen to get this up and running, and numbers will build as word gets out, and the weather gets warmer.
Everyone who trains at Paradise Point and becomes a member of Broadwater Dragons will be included in all Broadwater Dragons’ social and competitive activities. We will be one club, one heart, one goal.
Please email or phone if you have any more questions.
Thank you.
