Central Coast Dragon Boat Club has new a new vessel which accomodates 20 paddlers, a drummer at the front to help the paddlers keep in time and a steer person at the back.
Minister for Central Coast and Member for Wyong David Harris presented the $21,156 cheque to club President Donna Lerway and Registrar Carol Stowe.
“The grant supports the club of 70 members with a new boat and a boat trolley specifically handmade by dragon boat member Bernie,” Harris said.
The club welcomes new members who are competitive in racing, looking for a hobby or a way to meet people.
Previously the club has achieved strong placings at the NSW and Australian titles.
Lerway invited anyone aged 14 and above to come and try this fantastic sport of dragon boating.
The club will hold a learn to paddle program on Sunday, September 29 at 9am.
Meet at the club which is located next to the Marine Rescue Centre, Peel St, Toukley.
“Wear comfortable sporting clothing, water shoes or old sneakers, hat, sunglasses, water bottle and we will supply the paddle and boat,” Lerway said.
Harris encourages local community groups in the Wyong electorate to apply for the Community Building Partnership Program.
