Joining Vesta and Membership
The Club includes members with a wide range of rowing and non-rowing experience, from those who have recently joined Vesta from school or university to those who have competed at Henley Royal Regatta as club members in the 1950s. We presently have over 300 Members, evenly split between active and honorary (non-rowing) members.
The rowing at Vesta is organised into four main squads. Whilst the arrangements are still being finalised for the coming season 2009/10, it is expected that the squads will be as follows:
Men’s Senior Squad
Women’s Senior Squad
Men’s Novice Squad
Women’s Novice Squad
Membership applications
The Club offers three levels of membership, with annual subscriptions for the 2009/10 season as follows:
- – Active Member: £425, payable by all rowing members, whether they are part of a squad or not (N.B. active membership does not of itself entitle a member to coaching)
- – Student Member: £150, students must be in a full time higher education course for the duration of the season
- – Honorary Member: £60, available to all ’social’ members, coxes and coaches who do not actively row
- – Cadet: £25, honorary junior member
- – Rack (single scull): £160, holders of a rack must also pay the full Active Member subscription
All new members are expected to fill in a membership form before boating from the Club. This covers the Club for a number of issues including insurance. Within the first four weeks of rowing with Vesta, you may row effectively for free. However, at the end of that period you will be expected to pay the sum of of £125 towards your annual subscription fee, with the balance paid either by Direct Debit or further cheque.
Election is by simple majority of the Executive Committee.
