Applying for Membership:
New members are welcome any time. Sundays or Wednesday evenings are the best time to visit and meet club officers but the club is open to its members every day of the week. Temporary membership is available to anyone who already belongs to a RYA affiliated club.
MEMBERS DUTIES
Every member, including those who have joined as a Social Member, is required to do one or more duties to help the club operate. We do make an exception for those mothers who have very young children. This duty may be in the race hut or as a rescue officer. All members are asked what dates they would like. We try to follow your wishes as far as possible but those who reply early will get preference in the allocation of dates. Early in the year you will receive a duty rota for the whole year. Please check for your name AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THE ROTA, and if you are unable to be present at the club on the date allocated you should arrange a swap with another member who has been allocated the same type of duty. Please advise the Club Administrator with whom you have swapped duties.
New members will be sent a duty selection form to complete when their election to membership is confirmed.
Those members who are not allocated a duty on a race day will be asked to assist with work parties during the year.
SAFETY OFFICERS
All rostered Safety Officers are asked to complete an RYA Safety Boat course at the club. There is no cost to the individual and it is open to members who are willing to commit to at least two rescue duties in a year. Contact the Training Officer for details.
Disposal of Abandoned Dinghies
The dinghy park is to be kept clear of abandoned boats. Any apparently abandoned dinghies will have a “Notice of Disposal” attached and these boats will be sold if not claimed and any outstanding fees paid. The entire process need only take 13 weeks so don’t delay if your boat is not registered with the Club Administrator and all fees paid! Members must note on their membership renewal form the parking space number that their boat occupies (or describe where their boat is left in the absence of a number). The Club Administrator must be notified immediately of any changes in the details of your boat.
