The sport of dragon boat has penetrated the waterways around the world and has recently been identified as the fastest growing water sport in Australia. It is no surprise with each crew comprising 22 people! Dragon boating is a unique sport in its ability to attract a broad demographic of members with varying cultural and occupational backgrounds as well as varying degrees of age and fitness. As a result, dragon boat clubs are being set up in Sydney and across the state of New South Wales all the time.
Dragon boating is the ultimate team sport with perfect timing imperative to a crews success. For this reason dragon boat has become a popular team building activity for corporate days and an enjoyable cross training or social day for people who enjoy a bit of a challenge.

Hi all,
An SDB paddler's paddle was mistakenly taken after the evening training session on 2nd Feb. This paddle should be fairly unmistakeable with yellow tape protecting the sides of the blade. We're certain that no malice was intended - probably just a case of a mass paddle-grab after training. Given most Tuesday clubs also train on Thursday, please simply bring the paddle back on Thursday and hand it to anyone at SDB.
2 Paddles were found after the first pre-trial State training session. But from witness accounts the paddles have been left there for a few days before that (under the "makeshift seat" on the corner). The paddles were picked up by Albert from SDB who has the paddles in his care rather than leaving them open to the weather and theft.
If you believe one of these paddles are yours, please contact SDB via their web site with a description of the paddle's length, brand, material, handle configuration and any identifiable markings. |

AusDBF and DASA have decided to try something a little bit different this year, in order to for DASA to be on top of their budget and be able to plan correctly for the numbers they expect, AusDBF is issuing an Expression of Interest which we would ask all States and Clubs who are “thinking of participating a the Australian Championships”. We do understand that individuals pull out and number can fluctuate, but this will also help us determine what category’s and divisions are likely to run as well. It would be very much appreciated if you could make sure the EOI is filled out and emailed/faxed back by the Friday 15th January 2010.

Hi everyone,
Registration' s for the state team are going well, however we still require more paddlers to register to ensure we can fill 2 teams for each division.
The coaching team has already received some feedback which indicates not all paddlers are aware about the campaign.
