We interrupt with an important message from President Gwee…
That’s right, Kiyah-Splashies. A recent bulletin from the authorities informed the dragon boat community to keep their training volume down due to an increase in complaints from the residents of Pebble Bay Condominium. Here is the article:
Of late there has been a significant increase in the number of complaints received from the residents of Pebble Bay Condominium regarding the high noise level in the early mornings of Saturdays and Sundays from the dragon boat crews training there.
The Singapore Dragon Boat Association has been approached by the residents of Pebble Bay Condominium for the co-operation and understanding of all dragon boat crews by not training in the vicinity of the Pebble Bay Condominium during Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 am to 10:00 am to allow them to enjoy their weekends.
We therefore seek your co-operation and request that you avoid training in the vicinity of the Pebble Bay Condominium from 8:00 am to 10:00 am DAILY. All dragon boaters are encouraged to train in the open waters of the Marina Reservoir instead. We looked forward to your understanding and cooperation.
But we train from 10am till noon, don’t we? Or were they hearing Jeffery’s blood-curling screams from the boathouse? We can only scratch our heads and wonder who the noise-makers are, but in true Kiyah-Splashh sportsmanship and care for our social manners, we will try to minimize our war-cries on Sunday mornings.
It couldn’t be us too, since we always arrive fashionably late for trainings. Whoops!
