Dragon Headquarters!

It's all go at Dragon HQ - here we are in readiness for the great dragon onslaught

to the Caloundra mob ...

Message from one of our supporters (and this applies to all who venture to Caloundra) :

Good paddling and a perfect start in all your races.
May the sun shine upon you but not on your faces.
May your boat stay straight in your lane.
And may none of you see any rain.
May your parade down the streets be a hit.
And you path home from the parties be lit.
May your journeys be safe and fun.
And all your transport have a clear run.
Enough of my silly patter
I'll see you at the next regatta.
Good luck and make lots of new friends
keep well and relax and enjoy.
friends are the treasure not the golden "gong"!
paddles deep!
Mavis

Come back to Caloundra!

Dragons Abreast Tickled Pink team, in Canberra have been busy making a special welcome item for each of the teams. Here are some of them hard at work. As you can see, it involves pink paint, red wine, the backyard pergola, which creates the special artistic stripes we added to the photograph ... we hope you all enjoy our handpainted gift!

Crikey!!!

Crikey!!! Only 19 more sleeps. No time to talk.

CALOUNDRA COUNTDOWN

I have just spent Monday in Caloundra where we enjoyed a fantastic evening at Hogs Breath Cafe in Bulcock Street for the Calounrda launch of A Dragon's Tale - the story of DAA in Australia. It was very well received and we were thrilled to have the support of some many people.

Jo Kelly hosted a fantastic function and I am sure all of you visiting Caloundra during our event, that want to try out a great Aussie steak will head up there - it is recommended - as I have taste tested it all myself - including the chocolate mud cake for dessert!

Tonight we held the Brisbane launch at Riverbend Bookshop in Bulimba - what a great evening and the store was delighted as they went through over a case of books! Our lovely songbird - Vicki Cochran also autographed copies of the CD 'We Are Proud' that has been especially recorded and produced for Abreast in Australia.
