Joining Membership Mid year

The club has special membership rates for new members wanting to join mid way through the season. We recognise that a new member joining in July should not expect to pay the full rate with half the season sailed. The club has therefore devised a sliding scale of membership fees, with the fees reducing in proportion to the number of months left in the year. For new members wanting to join in October there are also two options:

    • Pay for the last 3 months of the year. OR
    • Combine the last 3 months payment with a full membership for the following year with a 10% saving on the combined price.
