Busters’ day out

Busters’ day out

Local dragon boat team the DAM Busters are holding a “come and try” day this month.

The DAM (Dragons Abreast Melbourne) Busters train in Victoria Harbour and are easily recognisable in their pink training outfits.

The team is made up of breast cancer survivors and supporters and is open to all ages and abilities.

The DAM Busters are part of a wider network known as Dragons Abreast Australia (DAA), which has teams throughout Australia.

DAM Busters’ “come and try” day on October 13 coincides with the DAA national paddle day.

According to DAM Busters committee member Andrea Seers, Dragons Abreast provides a face for breast cancer statistics.

She said the group also promoted breast cancer awareness through the sport of dragon boat racing.

“If you want to get fit, make new friends, have fun and get in touch with your competitive side, then dragon boating is the sport for you.”

The DAM Busters will hold a “come and try” day on Sunday, October 13. Anyone interested in taking part should meet the team at 9am at Shed 2, North Wharf Road, Docklands.
