Parkes Endeavour Dragons have a very exciting new initiative to offer to anyone who is interested in finding fun, fitness and friendship. Now that our freedom is increasing, there are many people wanting to break out from restrictions and get outdoors and active. This is what the Dragon Boat Club’s ‘Learn to Paddle’ programme is all about.

“Learning to paddle will give newcomers the opportunity of learning the skills and techniques of dragon boat paddling without having to keep up with a practiced crew,” said Parkes Dragon Boat Club Coach, Beth Thomas. “The programme will cater exclusively for beginners and be paced accordingly.”

‘Learn to Paddle’ is a five-week programme which will run on Sunday mornings from 10:30 to 11:30am at the beautiful Lake Endeavour. It will commence on 7th November and run until 5th December, finishing with a combined paddle with club members and an award presentation. The cost of the programme is $50 per participant, with this amount deducted from your membership fee if you decide to join the club.

Contact Beth Thomas 0418 253 045 for registration or more information.
