The Henley Sailing Club has always kept membership fees as low as feasible; this year we have kept the fee increase as small as possible (around 6%).
We carefully consider our fees each year, as a club we have experienced a significant increase costs such as council rates, insurance & fuel. Further we have also taken a long-term view on our fees to avoid steep fee increases in coming years.
The Henley Sailing Club has always supported it's members and offered payment plans should they require one. We are flexible on how much and when you can pay your fees in instalments. If you require assistance, please contact the treasurer to arrange for a confidential payment plan. There are no penalties for late payment, if a payment plan is in place.
