Before you join

Adult beginners: This is a youth canoe club, not a general adult paddling membership. Parents and carers can ask about a place through the Facebook page or email CYCCenquiries@gmail.com. The reviewed notices do not set out a separate adult-on-water role.
Junior paddlers: The current 2026 notice confirms Wednesday sessions, with arrival around 5:30pm and paddling from 6pm to 7pm. Public posts disagree on whether the lower age is 7 or 8, so this profile does not guess. Ask the club to confirm age, ability, supervision and available space before attending.
Equipment: Current notices leave the boat, paddle, buoyancy aid and clothing arrangements unstated. Families should ask what is included, what the child must bring and whether any item needs reserving before the first session.
Accessibility: No reviewed source identifies a fixed meeting point or explains step-free access, facilities and water entry. Adaptive boats and hands-on help are also unconfirmed. Share the child's requirements with the centre and wait for details of the venue and support available.
Where the club paddles: The centre says it meets on Chichester Canal on Wednesday evenings from April to October. A current public notice does not identify one precise meeting point. Session details can change, so use the latest Facebook instruction rather than travelling to the map's central canal reference.
