Membership to the Cuckmere Valley Canoe Club is open to all regardless of ability, age or any other factor. Applications for membership can be made by submitting a membership application form to the club secretary at the address shown on the form.
All applications are subject to approval as we are occasional forced to close membership to new members due to limitation on the number of boats, equipment & instructors the club has available.
A membership subscription fee is payable in order to become a member of the club. CVCC is a non profit organisation and all fees & donations are re-invested in the club to the benefit of its members.
