ACT All HSV Day Show & Shine
Saturday, 29 October 2011
@ Gerald Slaven Holden, Belconnen
I was just there. It is on all day.
Check out the Ice Dragons Open Day down at Lotus Bay and give Dragon Boating a go for free!
Dragon boating is a great summer sport to sink your teeth into and works all the major muscle groups, including the core, legs and arms. The team also has a large and social membership base if your looking for a team sport or new in town!
