We were delighted to welcome Nikki Gallagher CEO of the Irish Cancer Society to our clubhouse on Saturday morning. She chatted to members on what survivorship looks like for some of us and was brave enough to try one of our paddle machines. Nikki was invited in by fellow ICS board member Maria Fleming who is herself a proud Plurabelle.

A huge congratulations to all the amazing strong women who earned their place on the Irish International Women’s Dragon Boat Team especially to our very own Tara. We are incredibly proud of Tara and hope everyone will join us in cheering her, and the team, along every step of their journey.

Thank you Irish Dragon Boat Association For all your support since 2010. We are looking forward to the coming regatta season 🐉
🌟 Club Spotlight of the Week:
This week we are celebrating Ireland's first dragon boat club - Plurabelle Paddlers, a team known for their spirit, determination and warm welcome to paddlers of all abilities.
Here’s a quote from one of their members: “Dragon boating gave me a community I didn’t know I needed.” Thank you for everything you bring to Irish dragon boating!
The picture below is from October 2010 - Launch Day for Plurabelle Paddlers and the Irish Dragon Boat Association.

Our thanks to Fiona and Rachael from who came in to talk to us today about lymphoedema prevention and management, and pelvic floor health. It was so interesting and full of great tips and advice. Ladies thank you so much for giving us your time and expertise on such important subject matter.

Winter Safety Reminder:
Winter paddling can be magical, but safety always comes first. A few reminders for the colder months:
• Wear your PFD at all times & make sure it is done up properly.
• Dress appropriately for the weather conditions. Gloves & a hat are essential clothing items during the winter months.
• Keep moving during the training. It is an ideal time for those longer aerobic endurance sessions. Keep the rest periods short.
• Follow your club’s cold water protocols.
Let’s look after each other so we can enjoy every stroke this season.
