Early Sunday morning saw members of DCC down at the docks getting ready to welcome families and folk from around the area to the yearly DCC fun day aimed at giving everyone a chance to try out different types of boats and stand up paddleboards(SUP's) Every year as we try to put up the gazebo's we say we are going to label the poles but we never do so we all spend a good half hour of so working out which bit goes where. It just adds to the fun of the day, especially if its windy. We had just got everything sorted when the first of our visitors started to arrive and then none us stopped again until about 5:00pm when everything was tided up and put away. Inbetween 10am and the end of the day everyone who visited the docks said how much they had enjoyed them selves on and off the water saying what a great time they'd had. When not on the water there were games to play, raffles to win and plenty of great cakes, hot dogs and quiches to fortify everyone at which point many took to the water again and spent the day with us. Great fun was had by all. For more pictures of the days event visit our gallery found on the home page or facebook page.
"After a hectic but wonderful day on Sunday I wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a massive success.
First of all to our coaches, who once again gave up their time to ensure we could get every person who wanted to try paddling out on the water. It was incredibly busy and you did an amazing job of keeping everyone safe and happy.
To all those who helped with stalls, face painting and serving endless drinks and snacks, well done! I don't think I've ever seen so.many hot dogs disappear so fast, they were certainly a hungry crowd. The face paints looked brilliant, and I saw plenty of fishing, colouring and prize winning going on. Our younger members did a fantastic job of helping out where they could, and it was lovely to see them so enthusiastic!
To everyone else who helped by setting up, baking cakes, packing up and clearing away at the end and who shared and helped publicise the event, thank you too.
It takes a huge team effort to make days like this happen, and we couldn't do.it without each and every one of you.
The main aim of the fun day is to attract more people to paddle sports and let them know what we do here at DCC. We only ever aim to cover the Cost of running the day. That said I'm really pleased to say that, even after expenses, we have also.managed to raise around £200 towards club funds!!
Once again, Thank you." Cari xxxxx
