During the training/racing season (summer), the Board of Management meets nearly every week. After the regular season (ie from April), meetings are held 4 to 8 weekly. Any member of the Dragon Boat community is welcome to attend (phone Noel on 358 1633 or 351 2336 for venue and times), but of course only Board members have voting rights at these meetings.

The first official meeting was 23-Aug-07, and venues have included Airways Corporation's offices (in Sir William Pickering Drive, Russley), Owles Terrace (CCC compound) and Kerr's Reach.
