Hi to all Execalibre members
and potential new members or visitors who may be browsing
our site! We train on Wednesdays 6.45-8.15pm and Sundays
at 9.45-11.15am, meeting at the Canoe
Club on Exeter quay (next to Haven Banks Activity Centre).
We are having a special
training session on Thursday 4th September, in response
to interest generated at the Dream-A-Way dragon boat
event. This is suitable for all abilities including
complete novices. Hope to see you there at 6.45 at the
Canoe Club!!!
If you are interested in trying
out dragon boating please contact our club coach, listed under
club contacts. Hope to see you
soon! Meanwhile browse through our site and learn about Dragon
boating - the second largest participation sport in the world...
All sessions are open
to any interested new paddlers as well as existing members.
Please contact Steve
for details and let us know if you are coming so we
can check spaces. You will need old sports kit, trainers,
change of clothes (just in case, but you're unlikely
to need them), a waterproof and a bottle of water. No
previous experience of watersports is required but you
should be able to swim please! Dragon boating is a very
safe sport and the boats are extremely stable. A full
safety drill is carried out at the start of training
sessions, along with an introduction to different strokes
and paddling technique.
We take part in the BDA
league each year, some races in the Henley winter series,
occasional charity events and in 2007 paddled in Venice. See
racing events for a list of upcoming
events.
