We have been represented at regional and state championship with some outstanding performances by our club members.

The Mulwala challenge where the team paddle over 20km was describe by several members as an event not to be missed

The club coach Carmen Stephens has been an outstanding find this year. Her ability to train and coach the team in all the required technique and skill is great.

The different levels and ability of the members paddling require a sound knowledge and patience’s of how to get the best out of all the member in dragon boating, whether there for the social paddle or full on competition paddlers

The dragon boat club is very thankful of our sweep s Neil Stephens, Kathryn Sweeney and Bill Thomas.

Without these accredited sweeps the club would be unable to operate. It’s also good to see other member Michael Green and Chris Favell having a go at sweeping.
