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. For more information see our website; www.wsdragons.com.au or phone Pat Powell on 0437 373 029 , ![]() 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. |
![]() Pacific Palms Garden Club a limited member group of gardeners both new and experienced who get together every month for various activities including visiting gardens, buying and swapping plants and seeds and learning about permaculture to mention a few. With a monthly newsletter and their own website there is a wealth of information, especially local knowledge. ![]() 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. For more information email coombaconnections@gmail.com ![]() The Coomba Aquatic Club commenced in 1992 and has a proud history of active and social activities from our base in the public reserve known as Coomba Aquatic Gardens.

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. Back to home page |
