Tale of the Channel

All TRRA members, Dragon boat festival paddlers, and friends are invited for
Tale of the Channel – An informal dragon boat event

9 am ....... Saturday November 6, Millvale
RSVP benledewitz@threeriversrowing.org

All Paddlefish are required to attend this event; other than that the rules are up in the air. Two captains will be strategically mis-chosen to pick up teams from the crowd of experienced and inexperienced paddlers vying for some kind of award at the end of the day. 200 meter races (or there abouts) will be held in succession with periodic stops at the docks to re-organize (or dis-organize) and of course take a break from paddling and laughing.

This is not anything goes, as rules are rules and must be abided by. Weather at this point in the year is variable, dress accordingly but given a half decent day the event is on. Bring your favorite food to share for munching during or after the event. (Clothes must be worn, but left over Halloween costumes may come in handy.)

A recital of events or happenings; a report or revelation: told us a long tale of woe.
A malicious story, piece of gossip, or petty complaint.
