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 />

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 />
