The club would like to put out an invitation for anyone looking for a bit of healthy exercise, a change in Summer sport, or looking to take up a summer sport, to come and give it a try.
The great news is anyone from the age of 15 is welcome to have five training, trial sessions for absolutely free to see if it is a sport they would like to continue with before having to outlay on any fees.
All equipment is provided by the club, which has some of the best facilities of any Dragon Boat Club in NSW.
Training at this stage is on Sunday mornings for around an hour, meeting at the Lake Wallace Community Boat Shed just prior to 8.45am. With the advent of daylight saving a second weekly session is added commencing at 5.45pm and going through to approximately 7pm.
Anyone interested can get more details from Pam Day on 0428 633 953, Jenny Hoye on 0401 324 558 or Beth Knight 0408297217) or alternatively just show up at the boat shed prior to any of the training sessions and introduce yourself. You will be given a warm reception.
In other dragon boat news some members of the club are preparing to join forces with other western area dragon boaters under the team banner of Western Waratahs to compete in up to four 500 metre races at the Penrith Regatta Centre in early October.
These are particularly grueling races as the teams have to paddle 500 metres to the start line and then hit the go button to get down the 500 metre course in competition against some of the best paddling teams the State has to offer.
So if a weekly session or two on the water and the option of competing competitively in a sport appeals to you then the Lithgow Flash Dragons would be only too pleased to welcome you.
