JOINING GXSA

Membership of the association is available to all who share our passion for sailing and the sea. Annual membership costs £25 for a single member and £30 for family members. Members who have moved away from the area and can only attend a few meetings but wish to keep in touch pay an outport fee of £10. Payment is by bankers standing order payable on October 1st every year.

Non members and guests will be required to pay a visitors fee of £5.00 at meetings and are excluded from the association's special events and rallies. Non members cannot post to the small ads pages of the website, or use the crewing register.

Membership Application

A membership and standing order form can be printed from your browser (33k pdf file). After downloading and printing, return to this page using your browsers <back> button. Alternatively you can contact the secretary via the contact page for application forms. Should you have any queries, please address these to committee members on a meeting evening, or use the contact page of this website.

CREWING

The association keeps registers of skippers looking for crew and members seeking crewing experience. Crews often get an opportunity to visit new cruising grounds and build experience, possibly for formal RYA qualifications. Using this list members have had a wide variety of experiences such as Baltic and Mediterranean cruises, Biscay crossings and passages to and from the Canaries. This register is predominately operated by email for expediency.

Arrangements, financial and otherwise, are the sole responsibility of skippers and crew. Compatibility is essential, as is a clear understanding of each other's experience, expectations, cost sharing and potential liabilities before setting sail.

MEMBERSHIP LISTS

Members wishing to contact others, especially during the sailing season, should contact the secretary, or a committee member for the information they need. They can do this via the "contact" page. As a member service, the webmaster will forward legitimate non commercial emails to "all members" for purposes such as cruise planning.

WEBSITE & EMAIL

Members can contact others via the webmaster and post advertisements in the small ads section of the website. The webmaster will also make web space available for members wishing to post a "brochure" or information pack of their boats for sale which can be referenced externally, for example in the yachting press.
