Title: Dragon Zone Paddler's Expo on Saturday, March 15 Post by: Steph_Stewart on March 10, 2014, 03:03:30 PM The Dragon Zone Paddling Club is pleased to announce our THIRD annual Dragon Zone Paddler's Expo on Saturday, March 15th from Noon to 4:00 PM at the Creekside Community Centre (in the gymnasium), home of the Dragon Zone Paddling Club.
The Dragon Zone Paddling Club Expo is a great place to try out dragon boating, meet teams and paddlers and visit vendors including fitness professionals and therapists. It’s a place for teams to recruit new paddlers, paddlers to find a new team and to attend skill workshops including: Staying Connected - Setting up a Facebook Page or Group for your Dragon Boat team Facebook is the most widely used social network for good reason - its easy to use, everything is shareable to the timeline and it works very well. It’s very easy for individuals to stay connected, but once you have several people involved in something beyond a one-time event such as a team who practices and races, it can be beneficial to gather your members together under either a Group or a Page. 45 minutes. Presented by Jeremy Dyson. 11:15 AM to 12:00 PM Specific Nutrient Timing for Performance Optimization Join a sports nutritionist to learn the importance of pre- and post-workout meal consumption to physical performance.

To bad this overlaps with Nanaimo "Crazy 8's" outrigger race. We moderate the Goblin Empire public and private Facebook sites, would be beneficial to find ways to best take advantage of all the options available.
