Club Membership

Club Members are entitled to take part in any club activity. It is hoped they will also volunteer to take part in the many activities that support those activities and the
existence of the club – these activities may include taking charge of running events, assisting with setting the course, setting up the rescue boat, taking scores,
maintaining the rescue boat and other equipment, acting as officers of the club, etc etc.

It is only by sharing responsibility for these tasks that the club can continue to thrive and not become a burden on a small number of people who have to provide these services for all consumers of the club’s activity.

The Club membership period runs from the 1st February until the 31st January the following year. The current fees are as follows:

Adult membership – £15.00

Family Membership (max. 2 adults & 2 Juniors, all at the same residential address) – £20

Junior Membership (under 18 years) FREE but may only join as part of a Family or Adult Membership.
Important Note: Junior membership will only be accepted on printed paper copy of the membership form signed by a parent or legal guardian.

A discount if offered for any new member joining after 1st August (until the following 31st January) reducing the Adult/Junior fee to £10.00 and Family to £12.50
