Team recruitment
Aoraki Exec are keen to see new teams join the sport, and will do what it takes to help individuals or groups into Dragon Boating.
For example, we can arrange for Aoraki people like Meri Gibson, John Fox, Glen Dickie, Scott Johnson and Rick Smith to visit Christchurch High Schools, talking to assemblies and showing DVDs of our recent regatta. Board members frequently 'mentor' teams, such as the 'Ridge Riders/Fei Long' development club.
Aoraki's Membership Committee
The current Constitution allows for a "Membership Committee". While this has not been formally in place, the following are the reps and contacts, should
anybody wish to join their team etc. However, to enquire about a team, email us on aoraki.dragons@gmail.com.

Team Membership
