Now is the best time ever to come and try paddling with the Lachlan Dragons on Lake Forbes. For one thing, it’s the very start of the season so you can begin training before regatta season kicks in. Then if you love it you can compete, you can become involved with us in the upcoming River Arts Festival, or else you can just remain a social paddler. For another thing it’s the time of season when there’s a few other newbies about, so you certainly won’t feel the odd one out. And the most exciting reason of all is the buzz from our newly appointed coaches after their very recent Level One Coaching Clinic.

Last weekend saw our coaching duo, Carmen Stephens and Warren Edwards, head off to Chifley Dam Bathurst for an intense two day course run by competent State coach, Deb Clarke.
“The course made me feel confident that our club is on the right track in terms of season goals and fulfilling the needs of both social and more competitive paddlers,” said Carmen, the Lachlan Dragons’ head coach, “but also informed me of so many extra tips and strategies that will help us continue in the best direction for our club.”
The Club is fortunate in having both Carmen Stephens as head coach and Warren Edwards as assistant coach. Their enthusiasm and commitment to the club is a great bonus for all paddlers.
“There was a great deal to absorb and remember,” Warren said, “but Deb made us feel comfortable and confident in the techniques shown.”
Carmen and Warren must still complete further practical experiences and evaluations over the next few months but are certainly feeling very confident about delivering quality training sessions for both new and experienced paddlers.
“It was great to be able to share the weekend with Warren because we both now feel well prepared and informed to make plans for a fun and successful season for the Forbes Dragon Boat Club,” concludes Carmen.
