Club history

On May 17 1994 Phil Kirk was asked by Steve Bradley of Nottinghamshire County Council if he and his friends would be able to produce a crew to paddle a dragon boat on the River Trent in the Lord Mayor's charity event. This resulted in raising money for various charities in and around Nottinghamshire.

The interest from that day grew to such an extent that Phil and his friends entered dragon boating events around Britain. Entering initially as a "scratch" team, Nottinghamshire Anaconda Dragons were soon promoted to the Premier Division that has seen them compete against the best teams in the UK and the rest of Europe.

We now race at national events throughout the year. For this year's calendar go here.
