2026/27 membership renewals are due from the 1st October 2026. To keep the club running sustainably, we are increasing the price of all membership bands from this renewal period.
We always try to keep costs as low as possible, but we face three major increases this year:
| Nippers & Juniors (Age 5-16) | Use of premises, classes and equipment under supervision of parent and qualified lifeguard. | Not in coaching group – £95 In coaching group – £145 |
| Senior (16+) | Use of premises and equipment under supervision of qualified lifeguard. | £95 |
| Family Senior (16+) | A special reduced price senior membership when joined at the same time as Nipper / Junior dependents. Expected to make a contribution to the club. | £70 |
| Shrimps | For Y1 Shrimps who’ll be starting their first beach sessions in the summer (so no pool sessions). | £70 |
| Social / Supporter | Use of premises ONLY (changing facilities, kitchen and showers) not the use of any boards or to participate in any training sessions or events. | £45 |
To make membership fees as manageable as possible for our members, you have the choice to pay in one lump sum or spread over 10 payments throughout the year at no additional costs.
We do not want financial difficulties to be a barrier for anyone who wants to be part of the club. If finances are an issue and you’d like to talk about accessing our hardship fund, please contact Michelle membership@stagnessurflifesavingclub.co.uk.
