How to join

Membership runs 1 June to 31 May and is now open for 2026/27.

Memberships for 2026/27 are:

Juniors (15 or under) £10
Ordinary (16-64) £70
Seniors (65+) £50

At this time there is no limit on member numbers, however, this is under constant review and membership may need to be limited if the venues come under too much pressure.

Your new Club book may take a few days to arrive as Robin deals with the wave of renewals. Ideally please print out a copy of your renewal email from ClubMate if you renew that way or have it handy on your phone.

Online

Online via ClubMate.
We are recommending our members use this method as it comes with extra benefits such as us being able to easily contact all members with important news such as a water closure.

We still accept postal applications - more info on the Form which you can download and print. Payment needs to be via cheque or bank transfer. See the Club Forms button above.
