Vale Helen Bichel

Our beautiful snapdragon Helen Bichel lost her brave battle on 23 December 2010.

Helen was a superstar of our club.  Always the first to put her hand up to help out, even when not feeling well.   But most importantly, she loved to paddle and loved the Pink Snapdragons.  To see the joy on her face when she was out on the water with “her girls” always brightened our day.

It was a special day when fate brought Helen and Brian down to the Redcliffe Jetty where they saw the dragon boats and decided to take a chance and give it a go.  We were very honoured when Brian also became a paddling member of our club and we know Helen is always with us when Brian is in the boat.

Helen’s time with us was far too short, but she will live on in our hearts forever.
