Team LifeScan, based out of Dragonzone, is looking to recruit
paddlers, a drummer, and a steerer for the upcoming 2007 season.
Important info: *******UPDATED MARCH 2, 2007*******Hi, thanks for all the interest in our team! Unfortunately, our roster has now filled up for paddlers. We are still looking for a drummer and a steerer however. If you are interested in steering or drumming, PLEASE contact me (Marlon) by Personal Message. thanks! - Marlon**************************
We practice to compete in 2 festivals:
- Alcan Dragon Boat Festival (False Creek): June 16 & 17th
- Kelowna Dragon Boat Festival: mid-September
Our season starts March and ends in September. - If you cannot paddle the entire season you can go March to June (for Alcan) or June to September (for Kelowna)
Practice info:- We will have core practices one day a week: Thursday 6:10 pm (to 7:40 pm - practices are 1-1/2 hours)
- 2nd practice: Monday 6:10 (to be added as necessary as we approach Festivals)
Cost:- Our team is sponsored by LifeScan Canada Ltd. so fees are reasonable (plus expenses - example if you want your own equipment you can purchase on your own).
- We also do fundraising to help decrease the overall costs - if you are not able to or choose not to fundraise, you can choose the option to put out cash instead of your time.
- Interested in knowing more about costs? PM me - see below.
Level of Competitiveness:- LifeScan is aiming for the Rec B level: the emphasis is on fun, eating well at our festivals (with thanks to our support staff!) and having a good time.
- While hardware is great, is it NOT our primary focus.
If you are not sure if this is something that you would like to do, you can come to a couple practices to try it out before you commit.
If you are interested in joining, or would like some more information, please PM me. Thanks!
