We meet at 10am each Monday at the Community Hall.

Wallis Spirit Dragons  is based at Coomba Park, on the Mid-North Coast of NSW, and actively encourages participation from everyone including the Pacific Palms and Smiths Lake areas of Wallis Lake. Our training takes place in Paling Fence Bay on the beautiful Wallis Lake. 

The Wallis Spirit Dragons is a mixed-gender, open age, friendly club.
Paddlers consist of those keen to participate in regattas and others who just want to get fit and have fun without the pressure of competitions and the club has plenty of room for all motivations.
There are usually three or four sessions scheduled per week however, the number of participants can vary depending on paddler commitment. Bad weather also has an impact, especially in winter.

​ASHOW (After School Heroes on Wallis) is an after school program for infants and primary age children from the general Coomba area, operating each Wednesday afternoon of the school term. It began in August 2007 and is run by Coomba volunteers. ASHOW’s objectives are to connect local children to their community, to help develop life skills and to provide opportunities for children to participate in a range of activities they may not otherwise experience. The afternoon consists of a variety of sports and/or games, a slap-up afternoon tea and a pre-nominated activity for the day. These range from cooking anything from hot dogs to scrambled eggs; craft: everything from making kites, necklaces, tiaras and crowns, making flying machines or painting a rainbow serpent or a local activity such as  swimming, learning basic circus skills, being visited by Coomba RFS or our Forster police liaison officer.
We plan each term's activities ahead of time and email the information to parents and our local school, Pacific Palms. The School and ASHOW work closely together in the children’s best interests.
We average 21 kids and 6 volunteers a week. If you have a child who may like to attend, or you would like to volunteer, please call Felicity Carter on 0411 566 593.

Practice sustainable living?

Coomba Sustainable Living Group is a group of like minded people who enjoy sustainability - for the planet - and their wallets. There is no simple definition of 'sustainability'. It can be an idea, a property of living systems, a manufacturing method or a way of life. In fact, there may be as many definitions of sustainability as there are people trying to define it.

In 2021, the Club opened a new Clubhouse, Boat Shed and twin jetties which are major additions to the facilities in the Coomba district.
The Club invites members, guests and visitors to the area to enjoy all aquatic activities, sailing, fishing, kayaking and power boating - on the wonderful, clean waters of Wallis Lake and its tributaries.
For many years the Club’s Friday Night Family BBQs have been held in the Aquatic Gardens under the Gazebo a great place to meet new people and other club members and keep up to date on what’s happening in the club and wider community events. These start at 5.30pm in all weather conditions and there is no need to book.
The Club’s popular On the Lake Bistro is open on Wednesdays from 4.30 to 7.30pm for delicious takeaway meals and on Saturdays from 11.30am to 8.00pm for dine-in, when bookings are essential. Please visit the Club website for the menus and other details.
Aquatic Days and events are held monthly from September to May on the second Sunday of the month. There are more activities including fishing and boat picnics on some of the islands in Wallis Lake and each February we organise such a 5-day trip down the Myall Lake to Tea Gardens.
Junior Sailing program: the free Beginners and Junior Sailing program has groups of enthusiastic young sailors coming along to learn the basics about sailing and is held at the Club site during school holidays.

Men's Shed
The Coomba Men's Shed was started by the current president, John Hewkins, and a handful of fellow enthusiasts in 2012. It now has 23 members and is based temporarily at 1770 Coomba Road while fundraising continues for a new shed approved for the community precinct in the village.

The shed's aims are to provide mateship and a community spirit for men of all ages, and an environment where they may participate in work projects for themselves and our area. It also offers the opportunity for members to develop skills they didn't know they had and even discover new ones. The shed has an impressive collection of hand tools and power tools and advice is always available to everyone.

Sessions are held every Thursday morning from 8.30 to noon. The annual subscription is $25 and there is a daily fee of $2 which covers morning tea. Inquiries to John Hewkins on 0438741485.
