News From The Canadian Dragons


In June, eleven female paddlers from the CANADIAN DRAGONS team participated in the Dragon Divas Regatta – 200m race. The annual event was put together by the British and German Dragon Boat teams. It was a friendly competition between the female paddlers of all the dragon boat teams in Singapore. We had lots of fun, but sadly did not place.

Singapore Dragon Boat Festival 2011 – 800m, was our second race in the summer. It was held in July at Bedok Reservoir.  We won silver for the Inter International Business Community (Open) and came second in the plate final for the 12 crew National Championships (Women).

Recently, we had our recruitment drive and BBQ. The attendance was great! It is always heartwarming to see new people trying our sports and paddle with us.

Also in June, we bid farewell to our longstanding members – Ken Tully, Anne Purcell and Patricia Dingelstad who moved to other countries due to job allocations.
