Prices
The membership page says season tickets and fees run from 1 April to 31 March. It lists annual club membership as £45 per adult, members' children under 16 free, Cadet £15, annual use of club boats £50, and club house key £10. It lists lake-use fees of £145 for one boat with helm and crew, £94 for one single-hander, £115 for one boat with Senior/Junior/Disabled helm and crew, and £65 for a Senior/Junior/Disabled single-hander. Boat park storage is listed as £247.50 for one boat storage only, £363 for two boats storage only, £154 for one boat storage with lake use, and £253 for two boats storage with lake use. The sample total says £184 annual fee for a new member using club boats, or £155 concessionary, but its sample membership line says £40 while the annual adult fee above says £45, so the page contains a small internal inconsistency.
Membership
