Membership is open to anyone who wishes to try the sport of rowing - present membership ages range from 12 to 70 years old. See below for a list of membership categories and annual subscriptions.

(The word form can be filled out on-line before printing. The pdf form is best if you want to fill out by hand.)

Even though the equipment is expensive - a coxed four boat costs approx £10,000 with a single oar costing over £300 - membership subscriptions are kept as low as possible through various fund-raising events throughout the year e.g. running three regattas a year, race nights, raffles, sponsored rows etc. All monies made through these ventures are put back into the Club funds for new equipment etc.

Although Rowing is presented through the media as an up-market sport, we are far removed from that image. We have no paid employees, with the Club totally run by the members in their spare time.
