There will be no training for the next two Mondays (24th and 31st of March) because of the Easter holidays. We’ll be back for a few weeks after Easter before we move outside to train with Cardiff City at Howells School over the summer.

Dragons agm and Awards Night
Discuss important issues during the day, get drunk and applaud/laugh at your teammates in the evening. The awards night is traditionally the big club social of the year.
While there’s still the big game to come on Saturday, we’re not going to have any more training until the January 7th. Instead we’ll be heading to the Mochyn Du, off Cathedral Road, for a pre-xmas drink or tw0 next Monday, starting from 7pm.
Because Cardiff High is closed for half-term, we’ll be training at the Slug and Lettuce in town from 7 pm, rather than in a sports hall as usual. Training resumes as normal on the 5th November.
Indoor traing began on Monday 24th September, 7-9, at our new home of Cardiff High School in Cyncoed. If you’re not sure how to get there, google map is here. The sports hall is at the back of the campus, next to the playing fields.
We need to agree on a pub to go to after sessions too. Any suggestions?
Clips from the BBC’s footage of our training session with City, and introduction to the basics of korfball are up on the BBC site.
Highlights include Sian’s interview, Josh and James looking bemused as they have to play against Mike Bushell while he breaks all the rules, a cunning piece of creative editing at the start to make it look like we’re scoring a long shot, and Helen’s foul for the penalty at the end.
Starting on August 6th, we’re going to be having free, fairly informal sessions in Llandaff fields, as near as we can to the car park opposite the Halfway pub. Those who were around last summer, this is where we played touch rugby/ultimate frisbee, those who weren’t, look for the korfball posts!
These are going to be from 7.30-8.30, followed by a drink at the Halfway. This isn’t compulsory, but it is strongly encouraged so that we all get to know any newer people.
Indoor training will resume towards the end of September at our new venue at Cardiff High School in Cyncoed. More details about that closer to the time.
The South Wales Echo featured our recent filming by the BBC with a story which you can see here. Hopefully anyone who is interested will come along to the tournament on August 11th. Well done to Sian for making all this happen.
During the summer, various Dragons have had fairly momentous events, so congratulations are due to …
