How Do I Join The Club?

This is the process of applying for membership. It takes about a week to go from the initial application to receiving your gate key.

  1. Explore the website - all of the information that you might want to know is there. If you can't find what you need, get in touch.
  2. Decide who is joining - Just you, You and the kids, You and the whole family
  3. Decide if you want to store a boat or board at the club
  4. The key to the gate is an optional £20 deposit - though why you wouldn't get one...... fully refundable
  5. Fill in and submit the online form here
  6. The Committee have to review all applications - its part of our lease agreement with Bristol Water
  7. Once approved - you get an invoice by email - with payment terms.
  8. When you have paid - your key will be dispatched, you will be given a login to the website and you are a member of BCYC
  9. You will be contacted about your free powerboat training and club induction day. One a month - you can book online.
  10. You will be contacted to arrange your duty days. Club rules do require each adult member to do two duty days per membership year.
  11. You can sign up & use buddy system which gives you access to the water seven days a week in the summer and 4 days a week in the winter.


If you still have questions - membership@bcyc.org.uk


Our membership secretary is creating a list of frequently asked questions and so if you have anything you need to know - not listed in the application form or online - they would like to know.
