Hello from China! I’m writing on the plane on our way back to Australia. What a journey the IDBF World Cup has been! We’ve had some tough and thrilling races, and come together as an Auroras team. After training hard over the winter months, the 29 member Auroras squad (comprising 26 athletes, 2 coaches and 1 manager) flew to China from all over Australia on Monday 15 October.

Coaching team hard at work making squad selections (Sal taking picture). Thank you to all volunteers for assisting with the camp.

The Club points scores allocated for the first two regattas are as follows: Komodo - 500 Ice Dragons - 288 Navmat - 269 Diamond Phoenix - 198 Canberra Grammar - 149 Canberra Griffins - 80 Dragon Flyers - 69 Dragons Abreast - 60 Girls Grammar - 40

What a close finish to Race 12! Over the line in order: Navmat, Ice Dragons, Komodo White & Grammar Thor.

The 2018-19 ACT Fire coaches were presented with their coaches shirts at Regatta 1 by Head Coach Sally Bromley. Thanks Caitlin Plant, Tom Wicks and Frances Heaney!

Local paddlers John Corcoran and Emma Bavington were talking all things dragon boating on ABC radio's 'Afternoon' program on Thursday 4 October.

Last season ACT Fire paddlers completed a Health Problems Questionnaire to begin to document injuries and illnesses that paddlers, drummers and sweeps are sustaining.

A reminder that today is the last day for the compulsory wearing of PFDs in the boats for training.
