Membership for the 2026/27 season — nippers, lifesavers, all sports, family and Coffee Club. Apply and pay online.

How it works

Two steps

1. Download the membership form — nippers use the nipper application form — fill it in and sign it. Joining as a lifesaver or a nipper? Download and sign the indemnity form too.
2. Choose your membership below, attach the signed form (and the indemnity if you need one) and pay.

Proof of identity goes with the application: nippers attach the child's birth certificate, members attach a copy of their ID (under 16, a birth certificate). Uploads are held by Shopify for the club office and used only to process your membership — see the privacy policy. Lockers and racks are subject to availability: ask for one in the form and pay at the office. Access tags, cards and bands for the clubhouse are available from the office.
