Contribution to the Club
As well as paying a subscription, all members are expected
to play an active part in some aspect of Club life, at the
very least by assisting
with race organisation about twice a year. The success
of the Club depends entirely upon the commitment and enthusiasm
of its members.
There are spring and end-of-season Work Parties (usually
April & October) to tidy the grounds and prepare for the
season or winter. Members muck in with all sorts of jobs ranging
from tree lopping to tidying up the container or clubhouse.
Any and all help given is much appreciated.
In reality the number of duties varies depending upon which
duty you do, Race Officer, Assistant RO, galley and bar come
round about twice a year, whilst safety boat crews do between
two and three per year.
What
are the benefits of membership?
All members are issued with a key and they have access to
the clubhouse and lake every day of the year, subject to observance
of the Club Rules. These rules are simple and as non-restrictive
as possible. Many of our members use the premises for a 'day
out' with a picnic or barbeque. There is a kitchenette in
the clubhouse which is always open, as are the social areas
an changing facilities.
The Membership Secretary will always be pleased to give
information over the phone, but potential members are encouraged
to visit the club on any Sunday to obtain fuller details -
that way they can also meet other members and appreciate the
club atmosphere. Temporary membership may be granted whilst
formalities are being processed.
