SUNDAY IS LOOMING!

Very much looking forward to meeting all the teams and seeing you all dressed in your finery! Amazing how the time has come around so fast!
Thanks for the fantastic support and remember to get lots of rest on Saturday cos you'll need all your energy on Sunday!

KIWIS ARE COMING!

We are thrilled that 4 NZ paddlers are coming across the 'ditch' to paddle at our event as part of DA Ratatouille team. All this as a result of the wonderful time they had together in Caloundra last September - hard to believe a year has flown past!

WOOLWORTHS JOINS THE RACE

The 2008 Woolworths Dragonboat team is excited and ready to race in the upcoming Dragons Abreast Australia Regatta on 19th October in Sydney.

Most of the team are fairly new to the sport of Dragonboating but we have jumped at the opportunity to help raise money for the Breast Cancer cause. The Woolworths team comprises of employees from our Norwest Support Office and we all come from different areas of the business. We competed in our first Corporate Race in March 2008 and were happy to have reached the finals in our first ever competition.

We look forward to meeting other companies and businesses at the upcoming Regatta and wish all participants the best of luck!

GRANT THORNTON LEADS THE WAY

Congratulations to the creative team at Grant Thornton who are leading the way with the Fundraising Challenge - a total of $2520 to date. Well done!

Hot on their heels are Dragons Abreast Sydney and the Dragons Abreast Ratatouille team which includes 4 Kiwi's from across the 'ditch' coming to take part!

It's not too late to register - contact us on regatta@dragonsabreast.com.au

KEYRINGS OF HOPE

Some enterprising teams have asked if they can access these wonderful keyrings as a way of raising funds towards their entry contributions.

Absolutely!

Contact us regatta@dragonsabreast.com.au if you would like to do this. They are so cute and come beautifully packed so make a great gift.

NT and QLD both looking for teams

Both areas are keen to bring teams to Darling Harbour - Lexie Warren in Brisbane is following leads and I have today emailed my many contacts in an attempt to get a Northern Territory team to Sydney - we began in the NT and it is fitting that an NT social or coporate team takes to the water!
Watch this space!
Cheers
Michelle

LEADING THE FIELD

Conratulations to Gadens Lawyers and Woolworths for leading the field with the fundraising entries already at $2,000.

Dragons Abreast Sydney is also up there with 2 teams on the board - well done Wilma and all in Sydney!
