Mudgee Dragonboat Committee Coordinator, Jen Consadine said all the behind the scenes organisation details had been taken care of and all that was required was to recruit community teams to take part.

"We are absolutely thrilled the aquatic licence for the event has been granted and safety plans with Mudgee SES and St John Ambulance are being finalised," Jen said.

"We have had lots of interest from other dragon boat clubs keen to take part and all we need now are community teams to get involved."

"People who train together will find this a great team building exercise. Every team gets a training session with their local club included in the regatta fee,"

"The key is to paddle in time rather than use brute strength," she said.
