12.01.2022 Sweeping in the final race of a corporate regatta yesterday, our sweep's team of rugby lads started jumping in celebration once they hit the final stretch. But here's the thing... the boat didn't capsize. "I was so convinced that we were going in that I let go of the sweep oar to do a pretty dive into the water, but I was able to save us and we successfully made it back to shore without tipping." - Sweep That's our sweep right there

05.01.2022 It’s easy for us to feel sheltered here in Brisbane, going on our merry way - training without worry, but many from our DB community don’t have that luxury due to the ongoing bushfire crisis. Our latest entry gives a sense of the threat facing clubs in Victoria’s East Gippsland and how you can help the bushfire appeal while avoiding some of the traps in the charity sector such as scammers.

04.01.2022 Congratulations to a successful day in bringing back some bling team. Today was tough racing, but .....we persevere, we trust the process, we improvise, we improve with every stroke, we grind.... heck we love our sport.... WE ARE LAKERS!!! Well done to everyone!...

03.01.2022 Today we celebrate International Woman’s day 2021. This year's theme 'Choose to Challenge' has racked up thousands of posts across social media, with many posting selfies on Instagram with one in the air alongside a detailed caption explaining the bias and inequalities they're championing. A challenged world is an alert world. Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.... We can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women's achievements. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world. From challenge comes change, so let's all choose to challenge. #choosetochallenge2021 #internationalwomensday2021
