You need to select each of the sections that apply to you. For example, if you are a single adult member with a boat that requires a dinghy park space then add each of ADULT, BOAT PERMIT & DINGHY PARK SPACE to your basket. You will then be presented with an overall total prior to payment. Once your application has been accepted you will receive an email from webcollect which contains payment details. Once you have paid & your account has been updated accordingly you will be issued with a membership card & boat permit - these can be collected from the club house once issued.
Membership categories and annual subscription charges are detailed below.
New members - please add a Joining Fee to cover the costs of administration. This is applicable to the first year of membership only and applies to new members, anyone transferring from Winter or Complimentary membership or anyone who has had a break in membership of 12 months or more. This fee does not apply if you are taking out Winter membership packages.
Please note that the membership secretary is required by club rules to place new member application requests on the club noticeboard for a period of 7 days to allow current members to raise any objections.
If you are applying for annual membership please DO NOT select WINTER MEMBER too as this is included in the full 12 month subscription options.
Family membership - Make sure when signing up for Webcollect you choose the "Sign up for my family (or someone in my care)" option. The first person selecting a family membership will become the "admin" of the family. You will get to enter your family member details at the checkout stage.
