Hi I was wondering are you guys still currently training?
Also what are the club fees?
Cheers Luke
yes, however the canoes are at the regatta this weekend in sydney. next training will be monday evening 5:30pm as normal.
Since we are half way through the season club fees for the remainder of the season are $60 plus your aocra fee of $65 for a year.
Isn’t the Sunshine Crew a separate Club ? When I was a member of NLMOCC 2009/10, it used to cost me $10 everytime I paddled with the Sunshine crew. Is that still the case ?
It is all one group in a loose sort of way: in the past we had a reduced membership fee sort of arrangement since the two sunshine OC6’s do not belong to newcastle outrigger canoe club (unlikely our canoes in newcastle). One is private and one (Spirit) belongs Soldiers Beach SLSC ………..and you are supposed to be a member of SLSC to use it.
Hi, I am new to Newcastle and have always wanted to do canooeing. I was wondering whether its ok to come out and give it a try, or whether you only take seasoned canooeists!! ( not sure thats how you spell it but you know what i mean).. Cheers, Maria
Beginners and people with any level of experience are definitely welcome any time to paddle with us.
