2012 Victorian Mile High Dragon Boat Championships @ Falls Creek

Saturday 28th January 2012

We’d like to invite you to participate in the 2012 Victorian Mile High Dragon Boat Championships on the 28th January at Falls Creek. It will be a fantastic weekend of fun, food, drinks and great competition as teams battle it out dragon head to dragon head on Rocky Valley Lake – definitely not to be missed!

Haven’t paddled a dragon boat before? Don’t worry, on Saturday we provide all the necessary safety and skills training. The Victorian Dragon Boats Association provide experienced helms and instructors, we have paddles, boats and buoyancy vests. All you need to do is get yourself a team together. A full boat will take 20 paddlers and one drummer, who will keep you all paddling in time. (BIG hint: Make sure you get all your team members weights so you can balance the boat).

Sunday is race day! The titles up for grabs include the “Victorian Mile High Champions”, “Club Lodge Team Champions”, “Pink Ribbon Team Champions”, “Mountain Team Champions”, “Sport Club Champions” “Mens Team Champions” and ”Women’s Team Champions”. The winning team in each category is awarded the perpetual trophy, and medals go to each member of the top three teams in each category. After the trophies and medals are awarded on the foreshore, it’s time to head back to the village for the official Dragon Boat After Party!.
