Club Associate Membership

A Club Associate is a member of a club that is affiliated to Paddle UK who does not hold an On the Water membership (see below).

Club Associates are only insured to paddle and volunteer during club activities, or to take part in specific introductory participation or competition events avoiding the need to purchase a Single Event Membership (Day Ticket).

Clubs should register your membership to confirm the insurance and so that you receive updates with news, events and access to your qualification record for you and your club

If you require insurance or a waterways licence for use outside of club activity you should purchase a On the Water membership (see below).
