Dragon Boating Sunday 20 June 1.30 to 3.30 - Meet at the Canal

New Weekly Dragon Boating Session - Sundays 1.30 to 3.30pm

Dragon boating is great fun and a fantastic way to see the world, gliding along at water level through forests and fields and it's a great way of getting some exercise.

The session is delivered by the Yorkshire Sharks Dragon Boat Club between 1.30pm to 3.30 pm on the Canal at Shipley.

Places are limited to 14 per session and there is a £3 charge to reserve a place.

The sessions will be delivered by Patch (a member of the GB squad) and John (a former world champion and coach of the Netherlands Dragon Boat National Team.

You will need to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet and sessions will last approximately 90 mins. 

You will have to make your own way to the canal, which is on Dock Lane Shipley.

The quickest way there from bradford is via rail. You can catch a train from Bradford Forster Square to Shipley Station. The best train to catch is the 12.48 from Forster Square arriving at Shipley at 12.55.

An off peak day return from Bradford Forster Square to Shipley is £2.90, but this is cheaper (£1.90) if you have a student rail card.

From Shipley station, it's a ten minute walk along the canal (https://goo.gl/maps/hcbxZ4MjhmedKULq9 - if you look at the map you can actually see the Dragon Boat)

The coach of the session is part of the Team GB squad who has competed all over the world, so you'll be in good hands.
