Membership of Maidstone Canoe Club is open to anybody, however there a few provisos:

All paddlers must have at least basic membership of the British Canoe Union (BCU). This is because a river licence is required to paddle on the Medway but members of the BCU are exempt under the access agreement between the BCU and the Environmental Agency. The club decided that we would make BCU membership mandatory for continued membership of Maidstone CC.

Application for membership of the BCU can be done on line at BCU Joining Page

All paddlers must be able to swim at least 50 m on the surface and a short distance underwater.

Junior Members (U18) will require a Paddlesport Consent Form signed by parent/guardian

All members of the Club must be willing to abide by the rules and code of conduct of Maidstone Canoe Club and in particular those relating to your safety and the safety of others and the welfare of Juniors.
