To qualify the family must include three rowing members living at the same address. The cheapest rowing member is free. Free membership is capped at one per family.
Membership is annual with payment in advance for the club year starting on 1st March. Annual payments should be made on the 1st March. Alternatively quarterly payments are required on the 1st day of the quarter (Mar, Jun, Sep & Dec). As a concession new members joining after 1st March may pay pro-rata for each month or part month remaining in the financial year.
E.g a full rowing member joining any time in May would pay 10 x £30.71 = £307.10 for the year or £30.71 for May then £92.13 quarterly starting on 1st June.
Any member may resign by giving one months written notice to the membership secretary but this shall not relieve a member from liability to pay subscriptions due and other debts owing to the club.
Should a member resign part way through the year choose to immediately cease quarterly payments the club would not normally seek payment for the financial year. However, acceptance of any subsequent application to rejoin may be conditional on payment of the debt due. Temporary payment holidays are not offered but individual requests on the grounds of significant illness, injury or hardship may be made at any time to the membership secretary. The club does not wish to keep from rowing anyone who is on limited income and support may be possible. If this may apply to you please contact the membership secretary in confidence.
After being accepted for membership, payment should be either by one payment for the remaining club year to the end of February or by quarterly standing order on the 1st Mar, Jun, Sep & Dec to:
Business account name: Royal Chester Rowing Club
Co-operative Bank sort code: 08-92-99
Account Number: 67327645
Reference: first name and family name.
Please note that the club subscription does not include British Rowing membership which is not required by the club but to enter British Rowing competitions it is required and must be separately obtained.
You will receive a reply to confirm whether membership has been accepted, the date of joining for payment and to put you in touch with the appropriate club captain or coach.

Royal Chester Rowing Club Junior Section Personal Contact Details and Parental Consent
To be completed by ALL members
Rowing and its associated training can be a strenuous activity. Therefore, you should be in good health and have no medical or physical condition precluding heavy exercise. If there is any doubt, you should first consult your doctor. Some conditions, such as asthma and diabetes, for example, do not prevent individuals participating in this sport, but you do have a duty to declare any condition that puts yourself or others at risk. It is important, therefore, that you inform coaches and crew members of any condition that they may have to deal with in the event of an emergency.
Does the applicant have any of the following conditions
For juniors in the event of any problems, the Club will always first attempt to contact the junior’s parents/guardians regarding any permission required.
If there are any other personal issues the coaches should be aware of please let them know directly.
