New membership application forms

The membership year runs from the 1st September to the 31st August, with the sailing season running October to April inclusive. A calendar/programme of events is published for each season.

Between May and August, we normally hide the membership registration forms, as it makes more sense to wait until the start of the following season, and fees are not confirmed until the AGM. We then accept membership applications through until the following April.

Applications for membership are provisional until approved by the Administration Committee at it’s monthly meeting, with the exception of Youth Memberships which are accepted automatically.

Please note, once a member, you will automatically be sent a renewal invoice the following year. If you do not wish to continue your membership the following year, then you must email a note of resignation.

We use a platform called Friendly Manager to manage our membership database and activity bookings.

With any of these database systems there are a few idiosyncrasies and things to watch out for. Here are some top tips:

• Once an email address has been registered once in the system, you can’t use it on a registration form again.
• Once registered, you will need to log in to your profile and complete any further registrations from within Friendly Manager. *The link to the login page can be found on the main menu of this website.
• Parents of Youth Members should complete the registration forms for the Youth Member, and add themselves as Parent Contacts. As a Parent Contact you can have multiple Youth Members connected to your profile and manage all registrations and fees for them.
