Vancouver CBCers seeking fresh blood on their Dragon Boat team

Q: Where can you spend your evenings off being yelled at by a CBC Producer to hurry up?

If you answered “At my show, jackass!” you’re wrong. (Well, maybe you’re right, but that’s another story.)

Vancouver’s Dragon Boat team, the “Wave Catchers,” are on the hunt for seven new members. The team competes in at least two of the big festivals: the Alcan Dragon Boat Festival in mid-June and the Kelowna Dragon Boat Festival in September.

Practice is Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. and lasts for two hours. Practices are run by a coach with many years of experience as a competitive paddler.

It all starts March 30th on Sundays, then it moves to weekday evenings after June. The boat season ends just in time for your next show’s season in September. There is a registration fee of $150 to cover Festival fees, a CBC jersey, coaching, and dock fees.

Even if you aren’t able to join the team, you can cheer them on on their Facebook group.

If you’d like to join, contact Monia at 6218 in Vancouver (centrex 181).
