Bidgee Dragons Inc is an inclusive dragon boat club for ages 10+, welcoming people of all abilities and backgrounds. The club builds community through paddling, competition, fundraising, volunteering, and local events, including programs for schools and corporate groups. To support safe, accessible participation, Bidgee Dragons is seeking funding for 22 carbon fibre paddles to replace aging wooden ones. Carbon fibre paddles will be a step to improving safety, reducing injury risk, and removing financial barriers to training and competition while making us more competitive at regattas.
