Pictures from Tartan Day Eve - at Doolin's Irish Pub
The Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team joined the Tartan Day Eve ceremonies at Doolin's Irish Pub on April 5th. It was a special kind of kilts night. The team also took part in a kilt fashion show, and scotch tasting. We also watched the Vancouver Canucks lose to Colorado.

Gung Haggis dragon boat team.... 200m sprints with a German TV cameraman in seat 1
by
Todd
on Sat 14 Apr 2007 08:58 PM PDT
Today... we had a GREAT 200m. regatta race. And we were filmed for a European travel show for ZDF, a German public television station - sort of their equivalent of the CBC. The show will be aired later this year, and focussed on multicultural Vancouver, and how dragon boats represent the cultural and ethnic fusion in Vancouver.

Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team prepares last practice for 200m sprints
by
Todd
on Tue 10 Apr 2007 10:54 PM PDT
It was our last practice before the 200m sprint regatta set for Saturday April 14th at Dragon Zone. Normally our team never hits the water before April, but this year we have a core of 3rd year paddlers who really want to take our team to another level. While I was in Vernon on Easter Weekend, our senior paddlers Stephen Mirowski, Dan Seto and Ernest Wu took over the instruction reigns and pushed the team to build strength and endurance. I heard from one of the new paddlers that it was a tough workout.
We have now been on the water for 10 practices since March 4th. Only on March 11th, a cold rainy wet day, we didn't have enough people to take out a dragon boat.... so we took 6 people out in 2 person Marathon canoes and had a great time, having little races. more »

Come join the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team. Our next practice is Easter Sunday 1pm. It will be led by Dan Seto, Stephen Mirowski and Ernest Wu.
