Fee Schedule 2011/2012

So you want to join Dabs? Fantastic, and welcome to the Finest Canoe Club in the Whole Dam Universe!

Very simply, the fee schedule works like this:

  1. Basic / Social Membership: This gets you club membership and all access to the facilities on offer. (You'll need a tag for the changerooms and boat pound). It does not entitle you to store your boat in the racks. Please see the section at the bottom of this document for how pro-rata fees work.
  2. Racing / GCU Membership: This is your fee to be affiliated to the Gauteng Canoe Union (GCU) and to be able to race in sanctioned GCU (Gauteng Canoe Union) and CSA (Canoeing South Africa) events. The fee goes to GCU, who then registers you as a racing member with CSA. You have to be a Basic / Social member first to apply for this.
  3. Running Membership: This is the fee payable to ASA to obtain a licence to run. Again, like GCU membership, one needs to be a Basic / Social member first.
  4. Boat Racks: Should you wish to store your boat in the boat racks (subject to availability), then this fee applies.
