Centenary Youth Narrowboat
Centenary is a 12 berth Narrowboat for youth organizations to hire at affordable rates for weekends or longer periods. It is an invaluable resource for developing teamwork and co-operation in young people. Special Needs groups can also use the boat.

Centenary is also a Royal Yatching Association Training Centre offering RYA Inland Waterway Helmsman one day training courses and certificates to individuals. This meets the needs of Centenary hirers and is also invaluable to boat owners or potential owners who wish to aquire boating skills for inland waterways. 
See RYA TRAINING page for 2012 training dates.
 
Centenary operates from Streethay Wharf at Lichfield giving access to  the Coventry Canal, the Trent and Mersey Canal and the Birmingham and Fazeley  Canal.

A CHANCE TO SEE CENTENARY
Centenary is visiting the Stratford upon Avon River Festival on
Sat 30th June - Sun 1st July 2012 where you can see the boat on show.
 Come along and see what we have to offer.


Originally presented to the young people of South Warwickshire in 1984 by Marks and Spencer in their centenary year, Centenary is run by a charitable trust. Centenary can accommodate up to 12 people and was formerly based on the Stratford Canal.  Leaders need to have undertaken a formal training. An example of training is our RYA one day training course (see our RYA TRAINING page).

Centenary is operated by The Stratford upon Avon Narrowboat Trust registered charity number 515828.
