About Membership

Membership of Albury Wodonga Sailing Club

The Albury Wodonga Sailing Club welcomes new members and we invite you to come out to our Club for a look at our facilities. Our Season runs from September until after Easter. The Club is open most Saturdays (as the Discover Sailing Centre operates then) and all day Sunday as we have racing from 9am.

Types of Membership

As a Club we offer membership options to suit everyone, with a focus on families being able to enjoy sailing and the use of the Club’s facilities. Membership is from the 1st of July to the 30th of June each year. We offer a 6 month membership for those joining in the second half of the year. 

“Sailing” and “Social” (non sailing) memberships are offered with a sliding price scale for families to obtain a capped rate. 

We also offer a “Volunteer” membership where people can join the Club and in place of a fee payable they volunteer their time at least one weekend a month. Volunteer duties may include on water race management, Discover Sailing Centre activities, Sailability, being part of the Yard Arm Cafe team or the Mow & Grow team (gardens & lawns).

All memberships need to be applied for / renewed online. Payment must be made online for your membership to be completed. New applications must be approved by the Committee before membership becomes valid.

The entitlements for each membership type are shown in the table below.
