Hey dragonboat community! Deborah Bonner would like to put a boat together for the Dragons at the Dock event, Grand Canal, 1st Sept, 10-person boat. It's a corporate event - €5,000 per boat. A percentage of the fee going to Simon Community. Maybe a Corporate would like to sponsor a mixed team? What do you say?

A call out to all Grand Master Irish Paddlers or put it another way....Are you over 50 and can still hold a paddle? Yes! We are looking to set up a Senior B Irish team - mixed crew to race in Europe (location & date to be confirmed) in the Season of 2020. Continue to train with your own team & we will meet up as a crew in the New Year in each other's venues. We will set up a page to support each other along the way and prepare to race. The only pre-requisites (other than age) you must love to paddle, love to win, be prepared to train to your best efforts then trust and be kind to your crew. Message or comment below to show your interest. We'll send out a meet-up before the end of November. Paddles Up!

Dublin Vikings will be attending the London HK Dragon Boat Festival on June 3rd and have a number of spaces available for experienced Irish paddlers from any club.

This is a great event with entertainment on land, a food festival and lots of racing against British and some international clubs. The logistics are easy as the race venue is in walking distance from London City airport and a number of hotels. We traveled to this event last year and had a fantastic weekend, it is highly recommended!

If you have race experience and would like to join Vikings for a weekend please get in contact.

Happy Friday Paddlers! We have arranged for a BDA Accredited coach to come to Dublin for a two-day Coaching Course. It will include a follow-up session to confirm your accreditation! Can we have a show of paddles & your preferred training location? (if numbers allow, we could arrange a second)

Welcome to your Dragonboat community site! Feel free to let other paddlers know if you have an event/regatta either in Ireland or International. If you're visiting Ireland & fancy a paddle, we will intro you to a local team. If you fancy traveling somewhere exotic & looking for numbers to make up a team. Maybe looking to buy / sell kit. Please share. Any Irish DB teams, send on your logo and we'll add to the banner - everyone welcome! Maeve x
