Saturday Aug 28
The NAVMAT Dragon Boat Racing Club Open Day is a free and open social event for all adults looking to be more active and get fit enjoying an outdoor activity on the lake. Even if you have not experienced paddling before in a Dragon Boat, this is a great opportunity to get out in the sunshine and paddle.
You will meet experienced members from the NAVMAT Dragon Boat Racing Club who are keen to teach you how to paddle and ensure that your first dragon boat experience is fun and exciting.
Please come and give it a go. There really isn’t much to lose other than a bit of energy and sweat.
The Open Day commences at 11am and goes until around 2pm. Come early so you don’t miss out on the FREE sausage sizzle and fruit after your paddling session.
Experience modern dragon boat racing and test yourself against other first timers in a race. The boats will be fully dressed with the symbolic head and tail of a dragon.
All fitness levels are welcome, but you must be over 18 years old.
