• What we'll do Your first session will commence at 9.45am. On arrival you will be introduced to some of our Club members who will be paddling with you during your session. You will be asked to fill in a 'Dragon Pass Participation' form so we have a few details about you. Following this will be a Safety briefing, the fitting of a life jacket, provision of a paddle and then instruction on the paddling technique. The Coach will then set up the boat and tells everyone where to sit.... and off we go! All levels of fitness are catered for and highly qualified and experienced personnel conduct these sessions. • What to bring A sense of humour is important. You'll be trying something different to anything you've done before. Remember to bring a bottle of water to each session as you will be asked to hydrate regularly. Also bring a hat & sunscreen if you wish. Please wear comfortable clothing that can get wet, including water shoes or thongs. Shower & change-room facilities are available, so bring a change of clothes if you wish and, time permitting, we may go for coffee afterwards and you are most welcome. • Important to know If you enjoyed your first session (and we hope you do) we will explain ”Dragon Pass” which allows you to join ACDC for one month’s free training at any of our 4 sessions per week (details of which will be provided to you). During that time, should a race meeting be scheduled, you are welcome to participate with our Club, at no cost, to gauge a true feeling of what the sport Is all about. If you love the water and like exercise this offers a great opportunity to see if dragon boating is for you. We also have a Junior crew so youngsters between 10-17 years are very welcome too. Feel free to invite friends, workmates or family members to join you in this experience. Should you like further information please contact Chris on 0419 835358 or chris.wood@senet.com.au

We invite everyone to **play around & find out\*** how much fun and solidarity comes from playing together at a table in a beautiful park. **Find out** how to play a co-operative board game with other absolute beginners. Prepare for the 2032 Olympic Board Games— you might join a team or cheer them on! All for free with nothing to bring. Earthborne Rangers (ER) excels with its initial simplicity and elegant depth. You explore a world with optimistic “solarpunk” themes as you work as a team to succeed together. It's like Dungeons & Dragons but a nice change from grim dungeon-crawling and disaster-fighting, and has more structure, less improvisation. Learn more about ER [here](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/342900/earthborne-rangers). Lifelong game designer Matthew Ford will teach absolute beginners. All materials are supplied for you to play. The first half gives you the general idea. After a short break you can continue into more depth for the next half. You will get invited to events for continued intermediate play — whether you want to go for the gold on our final team, or just squad up to improve each other. Nothing to bring or prepare. Come as you are, even if you know absolutely nothing about it. We welcome absolutely everyone and ensure a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. We've face-to-face taught games to over 1000 people of every kind-- join us! We will never cancel due to weather-- we have a rain shelter! Prepare for heat but we will have a sun shade set up if it's sunny and hot. RSVP to this event to hear about any changes to the directions or times. Find us outside at a **park bench near the Centenary Aquatic Centre** in Spring Hill: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/zoedZcCZ2TiWJoeC9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zoedZcCZ2TiWJoeC9) . More advanced play will be centered at Ibis Island-- come to this event to get access to other events that guide you there later. I will be there, or at least as close to our spot as possible, **regardless of any conditions of any kind**. \ *Bonus info for all who care: As stadium developers approach Ibis Island, the heart of Victoria Park, they will find out how much our community values this special place. Two promise-breaking Olympic stadiums are slated to be built in Victoria Park, threatening Ibis Island and our gaming community. Let's help them find out** why they had better leave that spot untouched. Our weekly event series is a spark. Join us so we can all build a fire. PAFO is not run by [www.savevictoriapark.com](www.savevictoriapark.com) but that's a good way to learn more. Hey stadium developers, here we are! Play Around and Find Out! :)
