A note about inclusivity

We welcome members, guests and visitors of all ethnicities, ages, genders and sexual-preference, and physical and mental ability. With respect to physical and mental disability, we are only limited by the nature of our sport and the weather conditions of the day, our site facilities, training-boats and equipment.

Mucking-in running the Club is part of the deal

Our Club is entirely member-driven: we have no employed staff. This means managing our activities is carried out entirely by members volunteering. It's not onerous: three days a year helping us in a safety boat or running races isn't much to ask for. And doing so should improve our powerboat handling skills or our knowledge of running races. 

Volunteering is managed through a standard and well-known club volunteering website called 'DutyMan'. Find the link at the bottom of every page on this website: a black rectangle with the word 'Dutyman'. If you have any questions please contact a committee member.

These are formulated reflecting today’s diversity with respect to families, personal partnerships and relationships between generations.

This category of membership is required in order to be eligible for training events and to hire Club boats.

Berthing

A berth for dinghies kept at the sailing club is £50 for the season You will be allocated a marked slot for the season as well as a sticker identifying the slot with your membership number.

Trailers or road-bases which are not under a berthed boat can be parked on-site separately. The Club charges an annual parking fee of £25.00 for this convenience. These should also be parked in an allocated space which you will be told about. We ask that trailers and road-bases should be clearly identifiable and that they should be locked, preferably with a tow-hitch lock rather than a wheel-lock, so that they can be readily moved for grass-cutting, etc.).

Boat Storage (over winter)

Sailing and all other activities on the club site comes to an end in mid to late November. We recommence in mid-March. Often the site floods so members must remove their boats end of season to prevent loss or damage. There is limited space to store some members' boats in the club buildings. Since there is a high demand these spaces must be booked in advance and there is a modest storage fee, presently £50
