SANDYS BOAT CLUB MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION PROCESS

Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of Sandys Boat Club (the “Club”). This briefing 
explains the application process at the Club and will be your guide for submitting a completed 
membership application for consideration. 

Please follow the following steps: 
 

1. OBTAIN A MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION FORM – a Membership Application Form (the “Form”) 
can be obtained by emailing info@sandysboatclub.com with the subject “Membership 
Application Request”.

 

The covering email should cover the following points:
a. A brief introduction of yourself;
b. How you were introduced to/became aware of the Club (e.g. through another member, 
attended an event, club website etc.);
c. Why you would like to join the Club (e.g. sailing/boating, social, family etc.); and
d. A request for a Form.

2. COMPLETE THE MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION IN FULL – an incomplete Form will not be considered 
until the Form has been completed in full. Please note that each form must be signed by a 
Proposer and a Seconder who are members in good standing at the time of signing. Your 
proposer can provide you with information on which membership category is suitable for you. 

3. SUBMIT THE MEMBERSHIP FORM & PAY THE APPLICATION FEE – the Form can be submitted to 
the bartender at the time the application fee is paid or alternatively emailed to the attention of 
the Secretary and the application fee paid online to the Sandys Boat Club bank account. 

If paying online please confirm this in the email containing the completed Form, and indicate 
your name in the Bank note field.
 

Application fees:
i. Full Membership & Joint Membership - $100.00
ii. Collegiate Membership & Senior Social Membership - $50.00
iii. Overseas Membership – no application fee but $50.00 annual membership paid 
at time of application submission\

​

Once the Form has been submitted and the application fee has been paid, the following process begins: 

1. FORM POSTED TO CLUB NOTICE BOARD – the completed Form is posted for a period of at least 
14 days. This is to give the current membership the ability to review pending applications.

2. MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE MEETS TO CONSIDER APPLICATIONS – the Membership Committee (Currently the "Executive Committee") meets once per month and considers any pending membership applications (that have met the posting requirement in 1) at that time. Depending on timing of meetings and Form postings it can take 
up to one month for the applications to be considered. 

Note: An applicant and their proposer may be asked to attend an in-person meeting with 
members of the Membership Committee if it is deemed necessary by the Membership Committee. 

3. NOTIFICATION OF DECISION – once the Membership Committee has considered the application, an 
email is sent to the applicant notifying them of whether their application was successful. 

4. SUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS – where an applicant is successful in becoming a member and has 
received their welcoming email to the Club, the Treasurer will send a pro-rated invoice for the 
balance of dues to the end of that membership year (January 31). Once the invoice is paid a key 
FOB is issued to the new member and the process is complete. 

5. UNSUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS – where an applicant is unsuccessful in becoming a member,
they are able to re-apply for consideration after a period of six months. If the applicant 
is unsuccessful a second time, they will not be considered any further for membership.
