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.

On Saturday 20 March 2010 the EC met for an Extraordinary General Meeting to elect an interim President for DBNSW, following the recent resignation of President Steve Davidson.
Following the vote held at this meeting I can advise that the interim DBSNW President (till the AGM in August 2010) is Daniel Kong.
Minutes of this EGM (and the EC meeting which was held immediately afterwards) will be distributed shortly.
Regards
Simon Freke
Ordinary Director, DBNSW |

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.

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.
