Donations

We are now accepting donations to help our Ryde Dragon Boat Club members head to Taiwan!

Ryde Dragon Boat Club is just 4 years old and is really excited to have qualified teams to participate in the 15th IDBF Club Crew World Championships (CCWC) that will take place at Liyu Lake in Hualien County, Taiwan from 29th August to 6th September 2026. We will be racing in the Senior A (40+) division for Women and Mixed standard boat.

Travel to compete at the CCWC is fully self funded and we are seeking assistance by way of donations to help us raise funds to alleviate the costs.

Costs will total a minimum of $130,000 for the team of 39 members ($3,333 each) which covers:

$72,500 Flights to Taipei return
$ 2,500 Train travel Taipei to Hualien return
$48,000 Accommodation
$ 7,000 CCWC Registration and Administration fee

This is such an exciting opportunity for our club to compete on the world stage. Any financial help to get the team to Taiwan would be much appreciated.
