SCA Connect - commission from membership

SCA membership continues to grow and we are keen for more affiliated club members to be part of the SCA and benefit from some of our many benefits including insurance cover for individuals for all paddling activity whereas club insurance only covers club member engaged in official club activities.   


The commission rates are as follows:

 

  • Full membership - commission to club £10
  • Recreational membership - commission to club £5 
  • Junior membership - commission to club £3

 

Commission only applies to first time SCA members or those who have not been an SCA member within the last 2 years. 


Memberships are processed via JustGo in exactly the same way as club secretaries currently register a new club member, but instead select the appropriate membership type and complete the payment. Payment can be made online via credit/debit card, or an invoice emailed automatically so that the club can pay the membership fees by cheque or bank transfer. Upgrading an existing club member to become an SCA member is also only a few clicks. 


If your club would be interested in taking part, please get in touch: hello@canoescotland.org or 01887 292 040 .
