Membership

The club aims to keep the price of joining as low as possible so as not to be a barrier to membership.  There are no additional fees for attending club sessions – so the more you join in the better value you will get from the club.

Benefits of membership include:
– Third party liability insurance when participating in a BDCC club activity
– Use of club equipment, eg boats, buoyancy aids and paddles
– Coaching at club sessions
– Once approved by a club coach, unlimited access to the club building and equipment
– As a BC affiliated club, U18s have automatic BC membership until they reach a certain race standard
– Weekly newsletter
– Access to club Facebook page
– Social events and club trips

We strongly encourage all our members to join British Canoeing – our national governing body, and this is compulsory for everyone who wants to race more than once for the club.  Further benefits of BC membership include a license to paddle 4,500 km of waterways; combined liability insurance up to £10 million and discounts at selected retailers.
