Grab your chance to join the exhilarating world of dragon boat training with the Marlborough Dragon Boat Club Inc. in Grovetown, Blenheim.

Training sessions happen twice a week, each lasting around 90 minutes, offering a fantastic workout on the water. The club provides the boat, paddles, and lifejackets, so all you need to bring is a towel, a drink bottle, and a hat to stay comfortable under the Marlborough sun. 🛶💦
