Tweed Dragons have represented Australia by competing in their inaugural Club Crew World Championship held in Szeged, Hungary 17 - 22 July 2018.This championship featured 30 countries, 160 clubs and over 6100 paddlers.
Tweed competed in the Senior B category which is for paddlers over 50 years of age, finishing 8th in the world over 500 metres and 11th in the world over 200 metres and over 2 km. A most credible result, especially when it is considered that over half of our crew were over 60 years, and one was over 70.
