Hello Paddling friends

- Hope you can come join a Gung Haggis dragon boat
team social on Saturday night at Doolin's Irish Pub.

We will be showing the Thalassa dragon boat
documentary, that some of you participated in last
year + the CBC TV performance special "Gung Haggis Fat
Choy" featuring musical fusion.

It starts at 6pm at Doolin's
Nelson and Granville St. in Downtown Vancouver
$15 dinner special is Irish Stew + lambshank + pint of
Guinness

Free pint of Guinness if you wear a kilt
1st Saturday of every month is kilt night.
It's also an informal birthday celebration for me (May
11)

Cheers, Todd

see below for the message I sent to this year's team.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you had a good practice last Sunday with Bob. 
Sorry I had to take off early to catch a plane for the
Okanagan.
I did go canoeing on Kalamalka Lake - so I did get my
paddling time in.

It was great to have a full boat for the May 1
practice.
We have a very good mix of beginners and veterans.  I
know the veteran paddlers are pleased.  I do believe
this will be the best year for the team for: 
1) paddler experience
2) variety of races
3) increased fundraising
4) $1000 sponsorship from The Roxy
5) extra cultural opportunities such as dragon head
carving
