The Paddle UK Board has approved a series of changes to the current membership pricing structure from 1st May 2024.
Paddle UK is pleased to announce that existing and renewing members will be able to continue to enjoy all the benefits of their annual Paddle UK membership (previously British Canoeing) at the frozen price rate of £47.
Paddle UK membership will remain the most cost effective way to get on the water as a renewing or new member.
For a renewing member it will still cost the equivalent of under £1 a week to go paddling on 4,500 km of waterways in England and Wales.
From the 1st May new members choosing ‘On the Water' membership will now pay £60 for their first year of membership, and then at the point of renewal they will then pay the lower renewal fee of £47.
This joining fee has been applied to new members of Paddle UK and it represents the additional costs associated with providing member services to new members.
“Paddle UK membership is more than just a transaction — it’s a partnership. By joining us, paddlers not only gain access to essential resources and benefits but also become active contributors to a thriving paddling community, where every stroke taken furthers our collective mission of supporting paddlers like you.
This new pricing approach ensures our best price will always be available for renewing members and that the costs on new memberships are more fairly distributed”
Darryll Shaw, Head of Membership and Partnerships
Renewing members will have a 30 day grace period after their date of renewal to benefit from the renewal rate, after this time the joining fee will be added.
Club Associates (In our Just Go system) will not be required to pay the new member joining fee.
As well as the price freeze for renewing membership, we will also be introducing 3 year and 5 year membership packages for renewing and new members.
