Standing Order Form for Annual Membership
Portishead Cruising Club is a very friendly and welcoming club. There are no paid staff, with the running of the club undertaken by its members. Consequently the cost of joining the club, the annual subscriptions and mooring fees are extremely reasonable, and amongst the cheapest in the channel. This does mean however that all work within the club is carried out by the members and you will be expected to help out as necessary. In reality you may be called on to assist at event that you are already attending, and a number of work parties each year. There are about two or three work parties a year and these only tend to last about two or three hours each.
To join the club just come along on a Wednesday evening (20:00 to 23:30), either as the guest of an existing member, or if you do not know anyone at the club, introduce yourself to the bar staff. The next stage would be to fill in one of our application forms. These are usually in a receptacle at the top of the stairs. Your membership will be formally accepted at the first committee meeting at least one month after you completed the application. During the period between applying and being accepted you are welcome to visit the club of your own accord. The committee have a duty of care to the club, and they would have difficulty accepting an anonemous new member, so it is in your best interest to visit during this period.
