old, and if you stay tuned to this website, you will be on the inside
track of all that happens in Winnipeg and beyond!
Now is the time to start organizing your team and this site is a good
place to post your Dragon Boat resume if you are looking for a team
to join, and also a great place to hook up with other teams for
combined
practice time.
Tell your crew mates to join up too. Its all free!!!
Heck, we may even get a evening of chat happening. Dare to dream!!
Post your team pictures for the world to see, advertise your team
fundraisers and post your comments and thoughts on this message board.
It's all about having a great time during a too short
competitive season of Dragon Boating. Unless you are one of the die-
hards who plan to make the trek to Laughlin, Nevada in October!
(Start saving your empties!)
