PurpleStorm Outrigger Canoe Club

Paddling suspended 😢

The club are continuing to search for a new base following the eviction due to redevelopment of Bank Street site.

Whilst we continue to search for suitable sites the committee have no option but suspend club activities at this time. Club social activities may continue.

The equipment has gone into storage in the meantime.

Of you have any opportunity to assist in securing a suitable inner Sydney location with water access then please contact us.
