If you are thinking of joining a Cruising Club?........ Why Lymm?

 

We describe ourselves as a "self help" Club. What does that mean?... Well it doesn't mean that we just "help-ourselves". It means that within the Club we also help each other.

Every job in Lymm Cruising Club is voluntary. No one is paid. Each and every member is expected to contribute.

This "self help" can come in various forms and quantities. The Clubhouse facilities are always in need of maintenance and improvement. But, don't worry if you feel that you are not up to skilled tasks. It could be that you make the best cup of tea (or coffee) on the cut. The people doing the jobs will always welcome a brew!

We also organise our own social events. For some of these food is prepared in our modern kitchen, so catering and pot-washing skills come in very handy. The bar would need glasses collected etc. All this helps to lower the costs of boating & socialising with fellow members.

 

What are the criteria for joining?

 

• Primarily, you need to be a boater, have your own boat or be 'associated' to one. (ie. partner, spouse, children or close relative are automatically considered along with the main applicant(s) who own the boat.

• You will have to be Sponsored by two exisisting members. This would not exclude you if you don't know anyone at Lymm CC yet. Please contact our Membership Secretary who will explain the procedure in these circumstances.

• You really want to be a part of a Club with an active cruising and social programme.
