Self-Funding
Definitely a good road to go down. It's easy to be intimidated by the big numbers we present to you when talking about Dragon Boating, but remember you have an 8-9 week season and you have 25 people in your team, already those big numbers have been divided down.
An example of a simple self-funding plan is:
Basic entry:
- Wellington Festival Entry $2500
- 8 Training Sessions @ $150 each $1200
- Tent at Wellington Festival $300
- Wairarapa Regatta Entry $500
- Wairarapa Tent Site $50
- NZDBA Membership $150
- 1 set of 25 paddles $700 (aprox)
- 1 set of 25 tshirts $625 (aprox)
-
Sub Total $6025
-
Plus GST $753.15
-
Total Basic Amount you need $6778.15
-
Now split that between your team and take subs of $272 per paddler. That's how much it will cost each paddler for a basic fun and full season at the Wellington and Wairarapa Festivals.
$272 divided by 8 weeks is $34 per week. EASY! Get them to set up an AP into a team account or give it to you in $100 deposit and then pay the rest off.
No mucking round, that's their commitment to the rest of the team - pay up and turn up!!
