Membership Costs & Benefits

Anyone is welcome to come and train with the club for two weeks (or four sessions) for free, as a taster, before being asked to sign up to pay subs.

 

For 2010/2011 subs are £15 per month, payable by standing order. This covers the cost of rent of the club's facilities and equipment maintenance.

 

All racing members are also required to pay £10 per race day they take part in. This is to cover the cost of entering the race event. There is no requirement to purchase any club kit or equipment at any time, although most club members do choose to buy some items if they attend training regularly and also race for the club.

 

Before getting in the boat for the first time, all new paddlers will be given a basic induction and safety briefing and will be asked to sign a declaration that they are able to swim 50m in light clothing.

 

All paddlers are required to wear buoyancy aids between November and March regardless of experience. Buoyancy aids may also be worn year round for training and racing if you wish. Buoyancy aids and paddles are all available from the club to be borrowed for training sessions or racing.

 

For those of you who want more training during the year, the club has negotiated a superb deal with BMF, British Military Fitness, where for around £12 extra per month, you can attend their training sessions. They operate hour-long sessions at several locations in and around Nottingham most days of the week. This represent a substantial discount from their normal rates.
