Canoe Wales Membership Fee's 2023

Inflation is affecting insurance premiums, the waterways license, the JustGo membership system and other direct costs associated with our membership – such as printing our magazine. Despite some of these costs increasing by well over 10%, we have done our utmost to ensure only the absolute necessary increase in cost is passed onto you, our members.

Therefore, we will be increasing all membership fees by 5% which means that, from 02 May 2023, they will be the following:

• On the Water (OTW) £47.00 (previously £45.00)

• OTW young person £37.00 (previously £35.00)

• OTW youth £28.00 (previously £27.00)

• On the Bank £21.00 (previously £20.00)

• Club Associate adult £10.50 (previously £10.00)

We are pleased to be able to reassure you that we will continue to provide membership discounts which we hope will help to keep Canoe Wales membership affordable:

• Club associate youth - no change – remains at £5.00

• The 15% family discount across all memberships remains in place.

• The £2.00 direct debit payment discount across all memberships remains. And no change to Club affiliation/purchase of additional boat licences.

National White Water Centre Fee's; As an additional benefit to Canoe Wales members, Canoe Wales chooses to subsidise the daily facility fee for our members at the NWWC, thereby further reducing the cost to you when you visit the centre. Despite the rising inflationary facility costs at the Centre (e.g., a 207% increase in their energy bill), Canoe Wales continues to subsidise over 60% of this fee for our members. The facility fee for a Canoe Wales member from 01 April 2023 is £8.50 for adults and £7.50 for U18’s (full facility fee is £22 per day). You can find more information on their website here >> National White Water Centre

We continue to expand on the Membership discounts through the many partners we work with. For a full list of discounts please see our website - Member Discounts and Special Offers

All price increases will automatically apply to your membership following 02 May 2023. If your membership is renewed before this date, you will not experience the increase until your membership is renewed the following year.

We recognise that all cost increases can affect people at this time but Canoe Wales membership remains the most cost-effective way to stay on the water. We really hope you understand the difficult position we are in and the fact we would only increase our membership fees if we absolutely had to.
