Decide on which type of membership suits you best and complete the application form. When completing your application form it is important to give as much information as possible concerning your boating experience to date and future boating plans.

The completed application together with the required supporting documents should be returned to the club office marked for the attention of the Membership Secretary. It is useful to include a letter to the Membership Secretary explaining your reasons for wishing to join the club.

We are a family-oriented club, and candidates are encouraged to bring his/her spouse or partner into membership as a Full or Family Member.

Family Members aged 40 years and over pay an entrance fee on election but do not have voting rights. Should your partner/spouse (or either gender) require voting rights, then they need to apply for Full Membership. If this is successful then a 12.5% discount is applied to the cost of 2 x Full Memberships living at the same address.

Candidates should be aware that spouses/partners who do not become Family Members will be deemed guests whose use of the club will be limited to no more than six visits per club calendar year (1st October - 30th September) and would need to sign the Visitors Book each time.

Not at all, if every member was a boat owner, there would be nobody to crew!

We welcome those looking to start boating

Full Members with a minimum of two years standing may act as proposer or seconder in support of Full/Family membership applications.

Members must not propose or second a candidate for membership if a professional or business relationship exists between you/them (Article 6.8) nor shall both proposer and seconder have a close family relationship with the candidate.

The proposer/seconder should complete the appropriate form, giving as much detail as possible including particulars of the applicant’s boating experience. It is often useful to include a covering letter to provide further relevant information not covered in the proposer/seconder form. The proposer and seconder sign the proposer/seconder form as a declaration and a recommendation for membership.

If you do not know any Club Members well enough, please ask about the Provisional Membership route. This gives you an opportunity to experience our club for one year before committing to Full Membership.
