Social Membership Social membership is $60 for the year. This allows use of boat club equipment, and covers insurance. New South Wales Rowing Association (NSWRA) membership is not required. If you wish to compete at regattas, an upgrade to competitive membership is required. Competitive Membership Competitive membership is $165 for the year payable before the end of first semester. This allows members to compete at various regattas throughout the year. The competitive membership fee includes a $65 NSWRA fee. NUBC will cover the Central Districts Rowing Association (CDRA) affiliation fee. About Membership Fees The money you pay in membership fees all goes towards maintaining and purchasing equipment and paying for the ongoing expenses of the club, like putting petrol in the speed boat. Being a sport that involves the use of expensive boats, a large amount of our money goes towards keeping our fleet of boats in working order. The difference between social and competitive membership: competitive members compete in regattas and in particular, the annual University Championships. It represents an extra level of commitment, and therefore a significant increase in the use of boats and equipment. In the past, the club was heavily subsidised by NUsport, however due to the introduction of VSU, we have faced significant funding cuts, and are now required to be more or less self-reliant.
