CHAIR FOREWORD
Welcome to the 2019/20 season!!! The board and staff of DBNSW would like to wish
everyone the best for the season ahead.

DBNSW has a busy upcoming year, not least holding the premier dragon boating
event, the Australian Dragon Boat Championships in Sydney in April 2020. We look
forward to hosting competitors, volunteers and officials from around the country as
clubs compete to be a National Champion.

2019/20 will also see year two of the 2018-2020 strategic plan where work will
continue along the roadmap and the targets set by our community are reached. The
board and staff have made significant progress in 2018/19 and will continue with that
momentum into the coming year.

To our community, here’s to another exciting year ahead in the amazing sport that is
dragon boating. ENJOY.

increased from three (3) to five (5) sessions. A waiver form must be completed by the trialling individual prior to their first

VOLUNTEERING
Dragon Boats NSW relies heavily on the support of its community in
running regattas. We are now calling on the assistance of volunteers
for the upcoming 2019 - 2020 season.

Volunteering is a great way to support your club and the DBNSW
community.

Those interested in volunteering at our regattas can complete an
online nomination form here.

In the weeks leading up to a regatta selected volunteers will be sent
an email requesting confirmation of their attendance. A final email will
be sent to volunteers the week prior to the regatta containing a job
allocation roster and further information.

Transport & accommodation is arranged for volunteers and officials
at regattas that are of significant distance from Sydney (i.e. Wagga
Wagga, Mudgee).
TEAM ELITE

partnered up with Team Elite to be the official Apparel Supplier of Dragon
Boats NSW for the next 3 years.
