NZDBA National ChampionshipsNational Dragon Boating Champs for the 2011-12 season will be at Lake Hood, just east of Ashburton on Saturday 31-March-12 (Adults and Schools). Conditions of entry to Nationals Any NZDBA-affiliated team may register for the Nationals, but entry to the regatta will only be allowed to those teams that have competed at one or more qualifying/ sanctioned event. Motel and Hotel Bookings Some teams have indicated they are having trouble booking motels etc for Nationals next March. NZDBA has contacted Ashburton Tourism and Ashburton "iSite" [3-August-11 They suggested trying the following motels:
There is a lot more accommodation available at Methven which is only 20 minutes from Ashburton. Suggest checking out theMethven info Centre (who can arrange bookings): AmazingSpace.co.nz or phone 03 3028955 |
]. They tell us that the only other events on the 31st March are a community event, a reunion for Ashburton Technical College and a triathlon. |

You may also find that a lot of Christchurch accommodation is booked right now with over 1,500 EQ assessors in town. That number is expected to dwindle right down by 15 December 2011. Entries So far we have a few teams who have indicated a strong commitment to competing at Ashburton. The list will grow... Contact secretary@nzdba.co.nz to register your interest, and for any correspondence. Click here for the deadlines for registering for events, affiliation etc. Sweeps and crew Teams should all provide their own Sweep (as well as drummer and paddlers of course). NZDBA will provide Pool Sweeps but only to cover in the case of injury, emergency or race conditions rule out the Team Sweep. That is, to maintain consistency, there will no longer be Pool Sweeps for the BC and Women’s Divisions at NZDBA National Regattas. NZDBA is drafting a number of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to describe how we operate etc, and these will include a SOP to clarify crew compositions and the use of Pool Sweeps at Nationals.
