Dragon Boat Days

May 12, 2016 By Maggi Barnard

The Forbes Dragon Boat Club held their Business House Challenge last Sunday. Members from Parkes, Forbes and surrounds enjoyed the great weather by the lake. Four local businesses participated, which involved being coached in the skills of dragon-boat paddling, culminating in racing each other for the championship trophy. The four teams, Rabobank, Forbes Shire Council, Crowe Horwath and Saint Laurence’s made extreme efforts – with Rabobank proudly holding up the prized cup at the end of the day, whilst generously donating back the monetary prize.
“It was wonderful to see how the camaraderie built up among our staff at the Shire Council in the lead up to the day,” said Michelle Quigley, whose team arrived at the challenge garbed impressively in bright dragon-backed team shirts.
The smooth running of the day was thanks to the skills of Wendy Green and her subcommittee, including Chris Sweeney who did a brilliant job as MC, co-ordinating the day to run without a hitch. The day showcased the community spirit of the Forbes Lachlan Dragons along with their partners and associates as they banded together to play their roles of paddlers, officials or breakfast chefs.
