New signings for the Dragons

The Dragons are proud to announce that new Honorary Memberships’ have been awarded to four people this past weekend. These are awarded to those who have taken time out of their busy schedules to help spread the message of the Dragons.

Michelle Mone OBE was the first to be awarded this membership in 2011 and now has company in the form of Apprentice Finalist and motivational speaker Claire Young. Claire tweeted her surprise at becoming an Honorary Member together with an image of her new shirt.

On Saturday 31st August, the Dragons founders were invited to Upton Park, home of Premier League club West Ham United. We were to induct our next new honorary member pitch side before the Irons took on Fulham FC.

David Gold, Chairman of West Ham United was very happy in receiving his honorary membership in the form of a framed shirt, whilst a memento was presented to the Irons congratulating the team in achieving promotion to the Premier League this season.

Joining their father in becoming honorary members of the North Wales Dragons are Jaqueline and Vanessa Gold. We presented the shirts to Vanessa Gold in the Billy Bonds Lounge in which she spent several minutes thanking ourselves and the team in what we have set out to do.

We can’t thank West Ham enough for what was a truly memorable day for the Dragons.

Until next time

Start of the season

The last couple of weeks have been filled with sports of all kinds thanks to the Olympics. Many people have now taken up several different sports thanks to the games which is amazing to see. So much good can come out of sport, and it is why we have been doing what we do for more than four years.

Now the attention is shifting to the start of the new football season. What better way to spend your day than in the middle of a sell out crowd at one of the many teams across the nation. The season brings a twist in the training and matches that the Dragons play though, as the players are all keeping a close eye on the leagues and fixtures for the bragging rights.

The Dragons were founded by three Evertonians, and they are not the only ones in the squad. Two more supporters of Everton can be found in the squad along with several Liverpool supporters, a few Man United fans and just one Chelsea fan. Local and foreign teams are also supported by the group as can be seen at the friday night training sessions which brings out all of the various colours of the Dragons.

So fans of the Dragons, what team or teams do you support?

Until next time
