Join or Renew Membership
Join or renew your membership today! You'll get instant access to your membership benefits, including your waterways licence, insurance, latest paddler news and discounts.
British Canoeing membership covers you whether you use a canoe, kayak, sit on top or stand up paddleboard.
Paddling is a great way to enjoy the freedom of the outdoors and stay socially distanced. To help paddlers we’ve produced some useful guidance to ensure safe paddling that is in line with Government guidance during this time.
Membership cards are being posted out, but we are experiencing some delays due to the volume being processed. All members will receive a PDF digital copy as proof of membership within an email directly after membership payment.
Being a member of British Canoeing, you will not only get great value membership, you help guarantee the future for the development of paddlesport.
Membership fee’s contribute towards supporting the maintenance and protection of the waterways you paddle on, ensuring they are kept clean and safe for us and future generations to enjoy!
Please note: If you live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland you will need to login and join through the relevant Home Nation membership portal: Scottish membership, Welsh Membership, Northern Ireland membership.
