ABOUT THE CLUB

Anyone who is interested in salt-water cruising under sail is welcome to join White Horse Cruising Club. There is no joining fee, and no requirement to be proposed by a member. There is no need to be a boat owner: many of our members don't own a boat.

You can send an annual subscription (see below), or simply turn up to a meeting, ask for a club officer, and introduce yourself. You will find that we are a very informal outfit. We have getting on for 100 members all told, and the attendance at meetings is seldom less than 40.

If you have difficulties in getting to the club, phone one of the officers shown below, and we will do our best to find a member who lives near you who can offer a lift.

The subscription year starts in September, and full membership of WHCC for the year, which runs from September to September is £10 - £15 for two members at the same address. Our Membership Secretary, Peter Sowden, will be happy to collect your sub., by cheque or in cash, at any of the club meetings. However, this becomes rather a rush, particularly in the early part of our season, and he would prefer subscriptions to be sent in by post beforehand, if possible.

Just send a cheque, made out to WHCC, to Peter Sowden, at 12 Morland Road, Marcham, Abingdon OX13 6PY, with your name, address, and phone number. Please include your first name (the name you prefer to be called by), and your partner's too, if he/she joins. If you're on e-mail, add that address. Many couples come to our meetings, we're happy to say, and if they do we ask them both to pay a sub. as members.

Guests and visitors to our meetings will be asked to pay a charge of £3, which which will be deducted from their subscription if they subsequently decide to join. Where we have a reciprocal arrangement with another club (currently Newbury Yacht Club & Henley Offshore Group), no such charge will be made.
