Our club - Hoo Ness Yacht Club - on the Medway - always has vacancies for members ( subject to an interview of course) but I thought it was worth letting the folks on here know that we have several vacant moorings for new members. They are in the river so need tender access, although we have a club launch to use for a quick in and out. Some are swinging moorings - a couple of which dry out at low water so suitable for shallow draft or motorboats and at a cheaper rate. The remainder are on trots - fore and aft buoys to tie up to. Ashore we have a club house with a programme of social events and bar at the weekends plus a scrubbing dock and standing ashore for longer duration boat tinkering or storage over winter. The club run cruising rallies and a racing programme for those so inclined.
It's important to know that we are a self-help club and do as much work ourselves voluntarily - members are expected to join in and help out. A recent new member had looked around some other clubs but joined because he said ours was particularly friendly and welcoming.
Quite a few of our members come down from London or even farther afield - the M2 is not too far away. The Medway itself is a good river for first ventures on the water with the Swale and the rest of the East Coast just outside.
