To join or Renew Meridian Canoe Club Membership
(1) NEW Junior Memberships: (Aged 8 - 17)

You will need to pay a one-off New Joiner's Fee of £10 in your first year of membership and you will also need to buy an annual subscription. Please choose 'Joining Fee' below and click ONCE only on 'Add to basket'. Then choose the Junior annual subscription and again click once on 'Add to basket'.
