What started as a dream to get the mighty Dragon Boats blasting down the River at the Griffith University Paradise Regatta has grown into a reality thanks to the generous and enthusiastic suppport of Dr Norbert Gaulton of Brisbane River Dragons.
"Upon hearing that the Griffith University Paradise Regatta was going to be turned into a TV broadcast I felt this was too much of a promotional opportunity for the sport to miss and sent in my resume with an offer of assistance" Dr Gaulton said.
Norbert has been a passionate Dragon Boat paddler for many years representing Australia in the Dragon Boat and Queensland at Board level. His enthusiasm and support has already proven invaluable in the planning and preparation stages.
"For this event to work it was always going to require talented people who give generously of their time as volunteers. Nobert shares our passion for creating high quality sports media to promote paddling sports and the river as a great recreational play ground." Fellow volunteer event organiser Dr Dave Houston said.
Proceeds from the Dragon Boat section of the Griffith University Paradise Regatta will be directed back into the Dragon Boat Community.
