We are looking to add to our team of volunteer Dragon Boat helms. If you are interested in boats, getting out on the loch and meeting up with our paddlers it may be right for you!

The Dragon Boat helm is responsible for steering the boat, coordinating the paddlers and ensuring we get out and back safely. We have an existing team of helms and generally try to have two helms on each boat when we go out. New helms would be paired up with more experienced helms to begin with as they build up their experience. Some experience with boats is useful but not necessary, and many of our helms had not been on a dragon boat prior to becoming a helm.

We ask that helms volunteer at least once or twice a month on a Sunday morning between April and October.

The training course will be delivered from Galloway Activity Centre on Sunday 12th April. If you are interested in taking part please e-mail: info@dragonboatsonlochken.co.uk.
