Membership Process

Interview and Membership Progression

After the display period, you will be invited to attend an interview with the committee. If your application is approved, you will receive written confirmation of acceptance as a probationary member for a period of six months.

During this probationary period, you may be offered a temporary mooring, subject to availability, or placed on the mooring waiting list.

At the end of the six‑month probation, you will meet with the committee again. If successful, you will receive written confirmation of your acceptance as a full member of the club.

Additional Information

Please note that South Yorkshire Boat Club does not offer residential moorings, nor does it permit residential use of craft moored at the club.

Current membership fees are available upon request.

Visitors are also welcome to call into the club during weekend bar opening hours (Saturday and Sunday, 12:00–15:00) for an informal look around and to speak with members.
