Facebook Group - Kangaroo Island Dragons

Kangaroo Island Dragons started in December 2014 with a boat brought over to Kangaroo Island by John Holland and Christine Wood. They were contacted by Ron and Mary-Alice Swan who had previously paddled in Queensland with 1770 Dragons for two seasons. They love the sport so much they decided to start a club on their Island home from American River. John and Christine encouraged and supported the eager paddlers who arrived at the first successful ‘Come and Try Day’.

Achievements:

• A Constitution and a registered group
• Regular paddling sessions twice a week
• Competed in our first competition in Adelaide in 2015 in the 15^th Australian Masters Games in 4 events with positive results.
• Second ‘Come and Try Day’ with John and Christine’s participation and support. A very successful day with 21 current members and new paddlers trying each week.
