Categories of Membership

Family Membership- Entitles adults and children in a family to use the facilities and participate in social activities. Members receive discounts on the Junior Sailing Training programs.

Life Membership- Granted to those families who have given long term service to River Rats. Provides the same rights as family membership.

Membership Responsibilities

Since all River Rats activities are run by volunteers to keep club costs low, each member family is required to participate in one of the River Rats committees. A broad range of committees are available, depending on individual interests.

Application Procedure

River Rats is accepting new family membership applications. If you are interested in placing a mooring, applications must be received by April 1st and the moorings must be at the Battin Road facility for inspection prior to the day they will be dropped in the water.
