Springfield Centenary Canoe Club

Membership Fees for 2023/24 Financial Year

Membership fees have two components

• Insurance and state affiliation fees for individuals, 
• Club fees. (we try to keep these as low as possible). Non-club fees are set by Paddle Queensland (PQ).

Notes

• Student discount: a $40 discount is available for full time students who are over 18 and take out a 12 month membership.
  This reduces the total from $185 to $145. A valid student card must be produced at your first training session.
• Regional members discount: a $20 discount is offered to members who travel 1.5 hours or more to training sessions and take out a 12 month membership. The total fee for regional members is $165.
• Short term memberships are no longer available, however you can now join at any time of year and received a full 12-month rolling membership.
• Trial canoeist applications are not available to existing members from the previous financial year.
• Under the new insurance and state affiliation fees there is now only one class of membership for seniors and juniors i.e. there is no longer a distinction between recreational and competitive memberships.
• Juniors are those under 18 years.
• For confirmation of membership costs or related enquiries please contact Guy Stephens (treasurer) vp.sccc@gmail.com.
