Bathurst Dragon Boat Club Bathurst Pan Dragons (BPD) is a Dragon Boating Club based in Bathurst, NSW. We cater for social and competitive paddlers, suitable for all fitness levels!

Bathurst Pan Dragons (BPD) had their first time on water in January 2011 with a ‘Come and Try’ Day to recruit new members. Dragon boats NSW generously gave some time to help coach people in the boat and help with the day. The club was formed after discussions with the local Bathurst Regional Council in October 2010 to include more boating activities at the dam than just fishing, water skiing & motor boats. Our boat is quite long and fits 20 paddlers, coach/drummer at the front and sweep at the rear to steer the boat (22 in total). The club travels several times throughout the year, to take part in regattas against other clubs from around NSW. The ‘Pan’ in Pan Dragons relates to the iconic Mount Panorama car racing track at Bathurst and also the history of gold panning in the Bathurst region. The club's logo has an orange circle symbolising a gold panning dish and the dragon's body and tail shape mirror the Mount Panorama racing track. Paddles up!

Great news for one of our junior paddlers training to try to be selected to represent Australia, we wish him all the best 🐉

Congratulations, James!

We’re excited to share that James recently trialled for the Australian Auroras dragon boating team and has now been selected to progress to the next stage of the selection process!

Over the next six months, James will attend training camps as he works towards the opportunity to represent Australia at next year’s World Championships.

Having only taken up paddling 18 months ago, this is an incredible achievement and a testament to the hard work, commitment and positive attitude James brings to his training.

We wish James all the very best as he continues his Auroras campaign. We’ll be cheering you on!
