There are other classes of membership and those are listed in detail below.
To berth a boat on the club premises an extra charge is payable depending on the type and size of craft requiring a berth. Berths are allocated at the beginning of the year and as a result a member joining later in the year will find their berth quite some way down the dinghy park. Allocation of berths and berthing status is subject to lengthy and complex regulations which can be found below, or, in even greater detail within the club constitution.
Access to club is via gated road from The Country Park, see 'Find Us' page. Parking is available using the Pay and Dismay parking in The Country Park. An annual ticket is available from the Caravan Park park reception early in the year.
Any questions regarding membership can be directed towards the Membership Secretary
