Membership
Join us
Frome Canoe Club offers fantastic value for money with our membership fees and operates on a rolling 12 month membership. Included in the cost of your membership is the use of all club kit, including a vast range of boats from different disciplines, along with all personal safety equipment. You do not need to buy any kit to join Frome Canoe Club. At the clubhouse, we have changing facilities, hot showers, accessible access, an accessible toilet/shower room, and kitchen facilities.
Membership
If you would like to join the club and you have paddled before, we will require you to self-certify your skills and ability on the water. This will enable us to understand what skills and experience you have, so we are confident that you will be able to paddle independently at club sessions.
If you self-certify, but your skills are not at the level needed to paddle independently, then you may be required to complete a Discover award course before you attend any further club sessions.
To join our club and self-certify, please click on the become a member button at the top of the page and follow the prompts.
If you would like to join the club and you have not paddled before, you may be required to complete a Discover award course, which you can sign up for with a discounted rate with your membership. See the Courses page for further details.
We use Spond for all membership and you can sign up by clicking the Become a member link at the top of the page.
Fees
Our membership fees include all paddling at Market Yard. It does not cover any external trips which may incur additional charges.
