Hello Paddlers,

PLEASE can you email Mel (mel [at] britishdragonboat.com) so that she can estimate numbers. Tickets are normally $50, but a 20% discount has been offered to all paddlers (so $40). Payment is on the door, just let them know you are with the British Dragons Group.

When – Thursday 29 July 2010 – 8pm

Where – The Pavilion at Far East Square

See you soon, Rebecca

Good luck in Macau

Dear Paddlers,

On behalf of the team we would like to wish all the Macau-bound British Dragons the best of luck at the World Championships next week.

We hope you enjoy the experience and look forward to hearing all about it on your return to Singapore (hopefully with some bling to show off too!)

Party hard, paddle harder!

Satay, Slurp and Swing this Saturday

Hello Paddlers! (and Happy Birthday Andy!)

A message from Nicky and Gemma:

Come and join us THIS Saturday after training for ‘Satay, Slurp & Swing’. We will start with dinner at Lau Pa Sat (8pm). For those that want to move on, we will head towards Boat Quay for a few drinks after dinner. Finally, for the hardcore among us, we can go to a club to swing our hips into the wee small hours!

It would be great to see as many of you there as possible, so please come if you can – even if it’s only for dinner.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday,

Gemma & Nicky, your Social Secretaries

P.S. Save the date for the team weekend away (something similar to Sibu’s weekend away last year); Friday 20th (pm) to Sunday 22nd August. Cost is approximately $300. More details to follow soon, but please register your interest NOW to Gemma (pepperpot95 [at] hotmail.com) or Nicky (colonialmarsh [at] ymail.com).

See you soon, Rebecca

Latest updates

Hello Paddlers,

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN!

And now, for everyone… If you weren’t racing this weekend or weren’t about when announcements about THIS week were made, this message is just for you:

THIS Wednesday – YES, there WILL (woohoo!) be pool practice at Farrer Park Swimming Complex (7-9pm);

THIS Saturday – an EASY practice (this time we mean it) 4-6pm, but be at Kallang at 3.30pm, to be on the water by 4. We’ll be popping by/gate-crashing Marina Bay for the Big Carnival (http://www.bigcarnival.sg/BigCarnival/).

THIS Saturday Evening – British Team social, no details (yet), but all we need is a time and place to head to which we can set on the day. The aim is to hang out, enjoy each other’s company, have dinner somewhere nice/cheap/cheerful, maybe move on to somewhere else, see where we end up because…

THERE WILL BE NO 9AM PRACTICE THIS SUNDAY!

Enough capitals from me, shame I don’t believe in emoticons, see you all soon, Rebecca
