Welcome to the membership page, which aims to explain how to join Erith Yacht Club, along with the fees and benefits of becoming a member

You do not need to own a boat, as EYC has a number of its own dinghies which can be hired when available, and many cruiser owners are usually looking for crew.

We recommend that you come to the club to view the facilities and get to know the members as often as you can. We also encourage you to take part in club activities so that you are aware of what we do, and how your skills can support our aims.

HOW TO JOIN

Our club night is Thursday evenings when the bar is open and members get together. It is a great way of introducing yourself and becoming involved in club events. We are also open on Sundays where you will generally find a variety of activities happening, from racing and training to boat maintenance.

At these times you can pick up a membership pack from the Hon. Secretary, or from the reception area of the clubhouse. If you are in any doubt, just ask and someone will help you. This pack will give you further details on applying for membership.
