WHAT DO I GET WITH MY MEMBERSHIP?

LCRK activity is centred around year-round Wednesday evening time trial events of 6,9 or 12km distance. This friendly rivalry provides the springboard for other activity by members which might include:



Amongst the competitive activities, the Club is a social and friendly group spanning all ages, with participation across individuals, partners and families. Involvement may simply be a mid-week after-work stress reliever, or you may want more:


Facilities at the Club include:-

LCRK PARTICIPATION - NEWCOMERS

go to top
The Club facilities necessitate at least basic kayaking skills. Most newcomers will already have their own boat, have paddled recreationally around Sydney’s waterways and be looking to become more involved in the sport. Others will be very experienced, but have not been involved with a Club before, or are returning to the sport, or are simply new to the area. You’re welcome to ‘try before you buy’ and have a paddle with us as a visitor, as explained below.

Proficient newcomers with paddling experience and their own boat are welcome to participate in LCRK Wednesday evening Time Trials all year round.

Proficient newcomers with paddling experience but without a boat should firstly come along any Wednesday evening to view proceedings, and then if still interested can make a booking for a Club boat for the next suitable Wednesday.

Novice newcomers are encouraged to firstly gain experience either by i) participating in kayak training courses available across Sydney (eg, at Prokayaks or Freedom Outdoors), or ii) purchasing their own boat, getting on Sydney’s waterways and learning the basics. Once a reasonable level of proficiency is established, you should be ready to tackle what the Club can offer you.

All Newcomers:-

CONTACT LCRK

For further information come down to the pontoon at 5:30pm Wednesday evenings for a discussion and to observe proceedings (contact us beforehand if you intend on paddling)
