Membership
New Members Are Always Welcome
Membership of Loch Venachar Sailing Club is open to everyone.
Whether you are a family, a couple, a single adult or even under sixteen, we have a category for you. However, please note that as a club member you are expected to carry out two or three duty "slots" as described here.
Online application is easy.
1) Use this join link (or on the top right hand corner of the home page). You will need to enter name and email address. (Please remember which email address you have used - this is now your login id !)
2) Enter postal address and a telephone number and select a Membership Type. Please fill in the "sort bio" section to let us know how you found out about the club and what, if any, sailing you have done before.
3) Submit application
You will receive an e-mail confirmation at each stage of the process and once your application is approved we will email you the request to pay.
