From the Far East to the East End of London, Dragon Boat Racing originated in China over 2000 years ago. On Saturday 16th July, 2010, the Arobanam Children Fund is bringing the challenge to our shores – London Regatta Centre.
London Regatta Centre, Dockside Road, E16 2QT (The centre is a 2 mins walk from Royal Albert DLR station)
No Experience Needed!!
We're looking for 30 teams of 15 people to take part and to race each other to the finish line. Fancy rowing your team to the victory rostrum, welcome aboard! Or maybe your part of a team or department and looking to bring some team building and camaraderie? And of course, we'll need lots of cheering supporters to spur everyone on.
In addition to the Dragon Boat Race event, this is also an exciting family fun day out with BBQs, Beer & Wine, Bouncy castles, face painting and other stalls, as well as a whole host of other activities.
Fancy Dress is optional.
How do I sign up?
1) Download and complete the entry form below and return with a deposit of £100 (total cost per boat is £300/£20 per person). The balance of £200 can be paid at anytime, but has to be paid prior to the team's first race on the day. Dragon Boat Race Entry Form
2) In order to raise much needed funds for our children we are asking for each team to raise £150 or more in sponsorship money - that's just £10 per person! 100% of your sponsorship raised goes directly to Arobanam’s Children. So why not get together with your family, friends or colleagues and take part in this unique event? Perhaps your organisation would even like to sponsor a team/boat?
All equipment, including safety equipment, will be provided by the event organisers and full instructions and practice will be available on the day. All teams will have a minimum of three races. The fastest teams will then compete in semi-finals and a final.
