Most paddling sessions are held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, Castlereagh Rd, Penrith Lakes. We meet under the "breezeway" between the boat-sheds on the island 15 minutes before scheduled start. We also have access to train on the Nepean River at times.

This Olympic class venue provides paddlers with showers, toilets and ample parking. Few clubs ever have the opportunity to paddle at a venue of this quality and the Pendragons are the envy of others. 

Please also see the EVENTS section to see if there are any special Come and Try Days.

If you would like to Come & Try please contact our registrar on email registrar4pdbc@gmail.com

PLEASE NOTE: 

The regular come and try sessions are generally on Saturday mornings, based on the availability of Sydney International Regatta Centre. Due to major events through out the season there may be some restrictions put on our use. This essentially means that sometimes our training may not be able to commence as scheduled.
