Upcoming Events
Boat Maintenance Workshop – Sunday, March 26th, 2:00pm
For all who need to do a bit of work on their boats – washing
off the high-tide scum, replacing toe holds, tightening toe straps,
replacing battens, taping rings, replacing halyards, replacing tie-downs
for typhoon season, etc. – come down to the beach on Sunday
and we’ll share knowledge and get these things done. Better
now than the day of the race!
Dragon Boat Practice, April 2nd
The first training session for the LBC Dragon Boat team will be
on April 2nd. Time to be confirmed.
LBC members interested in paddling should turn up for the first
practice or contact Marianne Kolding at email mhkolding@hotmail.com
or mobile 6078 0648. A special incentive to those who paddle this
year is the addition of a certified sports therapist to give neck
and shoulder massages to the team. Payments to the therapist will
be donated to a charity of our choice.
Beginners Training, April 8th
The next Beginners Training is coming up in early April. This
is one of our most popular courses and usually fills up quickly.
