More news from the Oshkosh Dragonboat Club

If you are a dragon boat enthusiast from the last three Fall Fest dragon boat races, or if you just are wanting to learn, the Oshkosh Dragonboat Club might be for you.
 
The club is open to UW Oshkosh students, faculty, and staff, as well as anyone from the Oshkosh community.  It is an opportunity to meet weekly and enjoy the sport of dragonboat racing on the Fox.  We meet every Saturday all summer and into the fall as well, culminating with the Dragonboat Races during Fall Fest.
 
Some have been wondering if they are on a dragonboat team team, whether they are now able to practice as a team on the new boat.  We are developing a rate structure that will address that as we have fixed costs of the steers that would need to be available for your practice.  Be watching for an announcement on how you may rent some time for your team.  Now that we have a boat, we plan to make it available.
 
Also, some are wondering if they are on a team if they can join the club.  Yes, the club is open to anyone.  Existing teams and individuals, but you join as an individual.  The cost for the joining is $50 for the season for non-students (UWO students are $25), and buys you a great recreation time on the water every Saturday morning during the season!
 
If you want more information, see the club's web site below.
 
 
Join us on May 9th at 9 a.m. at the Aquatic Center for our first Dragonboat Club meeting of the summer!
