Our membership year starts in April, so if you are a late joiner the fee is reduced accordingly.

Day membership - £5 (includes 'pin money')
Some new rowers prefer to take this option if they are likely to be rowing only occasionally, or want to gain more experience before deciding to join. You can choose this option initially, then as circumstances change you are welcome to become a full member.

Are there any extra costs?
Yes! ....

Pin Money
Rowers are asked to pay £1 per row to help towards the maintenance of the gigs, seats and oars. We have found this a fair way as members who use them most will therefore contribute the most.
For convenience, our competative rowers pay £10 a month by standing order which averages out over the year. for those who row less often, a smaller sum can be agreed. Please contact Helen Laidlow she will let you know how to set this up.

Regatta Fees
There is a small charge for all crews attending regattas to cover the costs of towing the Gigs to the event.

There is charge for transporting the boats to the Isles of Scilly for the World Championships. This will be determined once the shipping company have confirmed the costs.

How do I join?
Complete the appropriate form:

Reduced Rate Membership Form
Junior Membership Form

There are two payment options available at this stage.

1) Join immediately - By paying your fee to the end of the financial year in cash or cheque.

Or

2) Direct Debit - This is a way of spreading out the cost of joining, rather than paying membership fee in one amount. Please contact the membership secretary if you wish to take this option
