The Canoe Club run paddling sessions from CYC most Friday evenings during the spring and summer months. They occasionally use the canal when the tide is too low at the Club so if you want to join them, please make sure you are on their mailing list so you are kept informed of their whereabouts. They also need to know that you are safe on the water and are able to demonstrate a certain level of competence before letting you go off. They will offer CYC members a two-hour introduction session for £15 to include coach and all equipment. If you wish to join their sessions and don’t have any equipment, they will also offer discounted CCC membership to CYC members and thus continue benefiting from their coaching, trips and use of equipment. For more information, please visit their website https://chichestercanoeclub.co.uk/ We are constantly developing partnerships with selected companies who will offer discounted services to our members and you will find their details in our CYC programme booklet. Please do support them. Your Commodore and I went on a “road trip” at the end of May to central London to collect some furniture offered to us by one of our dinghy member who is relocating his offices. Thanks to our generous donor, there is now a fabulous leather sofa in the bar alongside a new coffee table. We also collected some acoustic panels which will be fitted in due course, new office furniture and a statement picture on loan. If you haven’t been in yet, here are some pictures of the Quarter Deck with its new colour scheme and lighting. 5
