Title: [May 1, 2010] Bill Alley Memorial Dragon Boat Regatta Post by: DBWTim on April 28, 2010, 10:28:44 AM This weekend is the Lotus Sports Club's Bill Alley Memorial Dragon Boat Regatta at the Barnett Marine Park in North Burnaby. This race has been around for the past 12 years (this is the 13th). I haven't raced this race in years so I can't comment about it much. It does have it's share of returning teams like Gung Haggis Fat Choy and Red Fusion.
This year has 24 teams including a number of Junior, Women's and Senior Master teams like Lotus Sports Club Juniors, FLCC Women on Water and FCRCC False Creek Grandragons.

SI Liquid Silver is short some paddler for this regatta. Anyone have a few extra youths willing to jump in our boat? Yes I know short notice but if you could help that would be great.

Where else do the volunteers stand waist deep in cold water to steady the boats?
