How to apply to join
Applicants who wish to join Upnor Sailing Club must obtain support from two Club members, who will need to propose and second the application.
Complete the application form in full and send, with a letter of support from your proposer attached, to the Hon. Secretary at the Club. (If you do not know anyone at the Club, visit the Clubhouse, which is open most Wednesday evenings, to meet the members).
If
you require a mooring, discuss your needs with the Mooring
Master. Those who are offered a temporary mooring will be
expected to apply to join the Club, however the offer of a mooring
does not automatically assume you will be offered membership
of the Club.
What happens next?
Once received, your application will be presented at the next General Committee meeting. If agreed, the application form will be posted on the Clubhouse notice board for member information and comment. You will be advised by letter that this process has started. During this period you are expected to visit the Clubhouse on at least two occasions to meet the members and introduce yourself. This will also help you to find out more about the Club and whether it will suit your needs. You will be informed about the Club programme and will be welcome to use the Club facilities and join Club events while your application is being considered.
Your application will then be considered at the next General Committee meeting, and if supported, you will be invited in for an interview with one or more members of the General Committee.
Their views will then be presented at the next meeting of the General Committee and a decision will be made regarding the offer of membership of the Club.
If offered membership you will be notified that you have been elected and advised of the fees due, these will depend on the type of membership offered and be pro rata for the remainder of the year. The offer will be held open for one month following the date of that letter.
Once your fee has been received you will be confirmed as a member and sent a membership pack. This date will become your joining date and will determine your seniority for allocation of moorings.
We feel it is very important that this process is undertaken with due consideration to the existing membership and ethos of the Club and it can therefore take some time for the application process to be completed. The Club is run by the members, for the members and you will be asked to help in a variety of ways. Please contribute wherever you can to the continued success of Upnor Sailing Club.
