New Member Joining Kit

BEFORE APPLYING FOR MEMBERSHIP

  • For insurance and liability reasons, all people participating in club activities must be a paid up club member.
  • In order to participate in scheduled club paddles, new members must have been assessed by a club instructor, and may also hold either an Australian Canoeing Basic Skills Award or Sea Skills Award
  • Novice / beginner paddlers are recommended to undertake basic training through an approved training provider prior to submitting an application. Training is available through approved providers like West Coast Kayaks, Canoeing Downunder, and Mainpeak Paddle Sports. Les Allen of West Coast Kayaks is a club member and runs his own sea kayaking business and training programme.

HOW DO I JOIN?

  1. Download both the SKCWA Membership Form (PDF, 60KB), and the Canoeing WA Membership form (PDF, 1.2MB).
  2. Fill in both the forms, and obtain a signature of nomination from a current SKCWA member on the SKCWA form. Alternatively forms can be returned so that the prospective member can be nominated by a committee member. If the latter is intended, it would be advisable to telephone or email the Secretary first.
  3. Send the forms to the Secretary with either your membership fees by cheque (see schedule of fees below) or with an indication that you will pay by Electronic Transfer.
  4. The Secretary will request a Club Instructor to contact you regarding paddling assessment. Once your membership has been approved by the Club Committee, either your cheque will be deposited, or the Treasurer will contact you to direct you on how to deposit your fee by electronic transfer, as applicable.
