Q: Who do I make the membership cheque payable to?
A: All cheques for membership related funds, such as subs, rack fees and induction courses, as well as donations to the boat fund, should be made payable to Maidenhead Rowing Club.

Q: When are your training times?
A: These will vary between the squads and throughout the year. The most common times to find crews on the water are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings during the summer and on weekend mornings throughout the year. Contact the squad captains or coaches for further details.

Q: I’ve rowed (at another club) before and I was wondering what it would be like to row at Maidenhead?
A: Have a browse through the squad pages and the photo gallery, and then come down and meet us and have a look round the facilities.  If possible try to pre-arrange a time with the club captain. See contacts page for details.

Q: My children row with the junior squad, and I’d like to have some link with the club although I don’t intend to row myself. £50 for an Associate membership seems a bit steep on top of the junior memberships I’m already paying for. Is there another option?
A: For parents of juniors, we offer a 60% discount on the Associate rate but all the same benefits apply. Use the ‘Junior Parent Discount’ column in the table of costs.

Q: My daughter was a junior and now wants to row during her university holidays. Can she join for a month at Easter and then again for 3 months in the summer?
A: To make it easier for us administratively, we would treat your daughter as an all-year-round member, but charge only one-third of the Senior membership fee to take account of the fact that she is only using the facilities for one-third of the year.  This means that she can row in any university holiday and also any weekends she is home during term-time.  Use the ‘Holiday Student Discount’ column in the table of costs.

Q: Are there any discounts if the whole family wants to join?
A: Yes, new in 2003 is the Family Membership category.  This covers up to 2 adults and up to 3 children  under 18 and of a suitable rowing age, who are members of the same family living at the same address. A separate membership form is required for each person, on which you need to tick the "family" box and fill in the lead name so you are correctly linked together in the membership database. Please speak to the membership secretary if you have any other queries on this. See contacts page for details.

Q: I live in Maidenhead and am in full-time education. Is there a discount?
A: Yes, you would pay 50% of the Senior membership fee.  Use the ‘Resident Student Discount’ column in the table of costs.

Q: I’m here for 6 months from abroad as a part-time student (full-time student at home). Do I qualify for a discount?
A: Yes, you would pay 50% of the Senior membership fee, pro rated for the 6 months that you are here.  Use the ‘Resident Student Discount’ column in the table of costs.

Q: I want to row at the highest competitive level that you have available.
A: This would be either the Men's or Women's squad.

Q: I want to row for the fun and fitness but I wouldn’t mind entering a few regattas in the summer. Do you have a group that I can row with?
A: Depending on the level of commitment you want to make, check out the pages for the Men's/Women's squads or the Development Men's/Women's squads for further information.

Q: I just want to be able to go out on an ad hoc basis.
A: The Recreational Squad would probably suit you best.

Q: I am a veteran. What rowing can you offer for me?
A: We have veterans who compete at a high level and a not-so-serious level! We also have a wide range of ages in the Recreational squad. Contact the Captain for further details. See contacts page for details.

Q: I used to be a member and want to join again. What do I need to do?
A: Unless your membership lapsed within the last 5 years (in which case the form is still probably on record and current enough), you will need to complete a new application form. If you are in any doubt, please ask the Membership Secretary to check for you.
