Geelong Canoe Club has a strong membership with people from many walks of life and with very individual paddling interests.
How our memberships works
We are an affiliate club of Paddle Australia and Paddle Victoria. Where Paddle Australia and Paddle Victoria membership is involved you receive benefits such as personal accident and third party public liability protection as well as on water insurance when paddling or competing in an event.
A Geelong Canoe Club membership year runs from 1 July to 30 June. New members can join any time and will be charged a pro-rate rate to 30 June (for example; from 1 January – 6 months; from 1 April – 3 months). Conditions apply.
