Open Day

July 11th will be a little bit different for us! Instead of our usual training session, we'll be hosting an Open Day. We've been waiting a year for this so we're really excited. We'll be setting up a welcome station and hoping to greet lots of people new to paddling. Our parent team (Windy Pandas) will be helping us to get people kitted up and into a boat for a short taster session of dragon boat paddling. Obviously we'd like to gain some new members for the team - but more than that, we want to raise awareness of the sport and most importantly the benefits for people affected by cancer. We won't list them here but there are multiple benefits both physical and emotional - we are a support group as much as a sports team. 
We have our fingers crossed for good weather but we'll be there come rain or shine with smiles on our faces and the usual warm Wave Walkers welcome.
We couldn't have got this off the ground without a whole lot of help from others and we are forever grateful to their generosity:
Windy Pandas who have taken us under their wing and support us with everything as a part of their family
Macmillan Cancer Support who helped us get set up to begin with and continue to support and promote us.
Reach Volunteering who helped us find the lovely Kelly to lend a hand with our online presence 
Our extended community - all the friends and family who support us, carry paddles to events, take photos, follow and share our social media, and cheer us on at events. It makes more difference than you know.

​Will we see you there? Hope so!!
