Dragon boating<br />

“Dragon boating is a sport suitable for anyone, no matter<br />

what your ability or age – from 12 to 112, you can enjoy this<br />

sport.<br />

Join a team and enjoy the fun and camaraderie of dragon<br />

boating. We will match you to a team to suit your lifestyle and<br />

ability.<br />

Christchurch teams are among the best in the country,<br />

with school girls’ and a breast cancer team currently National<br />

Champions. None of these paddlers started off expecting<br />

to rise to these lofty heights – they achieved success from<br />

the foundations of building a team dedicated to training,<br />

teamwork and camaraderie.<br />

Regattas run from October to April with a highlight being<br />

the Le Mans starts at Super 12 racing in Akaroa. This event<br />

is a huge amount of fun, always in excellent weather at the<br />

end of January with the many holiday makers soaking up<br />

the energy, enjoying the noise and watching the pageantry<br />

of the dragons heads, tails and<br />

vigorous drumming out on the<br />

water.<br />

Dragon boating is on the path<br />

to become an Olympic sport. So<br />

now is a great time to become<br />

involved – who knows, you<br />

could be a NZ representative<br />

athlete.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Kaiapoi Golf Club was founded in 1907 and is situated<br />

just 20 minutes north of Christchurch on the Canterbury golf<br />

trail. <strong>The</strong> 18 hole links course has well-groomed undulating<br />

fairways and rolling greens. This parkland course provides<br />

a fair test of golf for all players. Enjoy quality golf with<br />

wonderful views and a clubhouse with full catering and bar<br />

aspirations. Varied<br />

depending on member’s<br />

WHY CHOOSE US<br />

Kaiapoi Golf Club has a<br />

fresh new look. Over 600<br />

trees have been removed<br />

to bring the daylight into<br />

the fairways and signal a new links look to the course. New<br />

ideas and planning are on the horizon for the course, so it will<br />

be a “watch this space” in the future.<br />

We are a friendly club. Our membership fees are varied<br />
