Some positive comments from recent guests.

From Janice Kennedy Das -'Thank You' for giving me the opportunity to paddle with the club. It was a great experience for me and I really enjoyed the time with such a great group of men and women. The whole session was enjoyable, and the get together after a lot of fun. Its experiences like these that make Dragon Boat Paddling the great sport that it is. Look forward to catching up at Chinese New Year.

Graeme Hogno said it was great to come across a club that really enjoyed being together for social times as well as enjoying each other’s company when training hard. Narelle from the Darwin club

I wish you guys all the best for your club.          Such a lovely group of people.
