We Support
The Forbes Dragon Boat Club (DBC) offers annual membership to individuals wishing to participate in the sport in New South Wales. DBNSW is very excited to announce that from the 2023/24 onwards (starting 1July) we will be moving from a seasonal based membership system (1 July - 30 June) to a subscription or rolling based model.
What this means is when a paddler registers for membership with their club and DBNSW they will have a FULL 12 months of membership from the date of sign-up. This is opposed to the current system where all memberships expire 30 June regardless of registration date.
Going forward members will be sent automated reminders when their membership is about to expire and they will have the opportunity to renew for a further 12 months regardless of how far we are into a season.
Part of this change will require a change to payment methods and from 1 July onwards all membership registrations must be paid by credit/debit to DBNSW who then reimburse the FDBC fees.
Those wishing to regularly train and compete at local, national and international events must register.
The following membership types are available for the period 1 July 2023 - 30th June 2024 season.
