On Saturday 27th February, Dragon Boats Victoria hosted their inaugural 'Snake Run' regatta on the Maribyrnong river.  IT was a great day with around 350 competitors, support staff and spectators lining the river banks to catch some great competition over 100m sprints and 4km trials. ERC played their part by providing facilities, food and drink which was hosted by our senior squad members, ably lead by Simone Richardson and Angus Bairstow (who did not leave his post at the BBQ for the day).
