Full Membership
As Membership Secretary of Strawberry Island Boat Club, I am delighted to welcome you to our friendly and welcoming club, set in the beautiful surroundings of the English canal network. Our canal-side location offers the pleasure and tranquillity of cruising, combined with the companionship of a supportive and sociable boating community. As a participation club, we encourage members to take an active role in club life, both on and off the water, helping to create the warm and inclusive atmosphere for which Strawberry Island is known.
Whether you are an experienced boater or new to canal life, you will find friendship, encouragement, and a genuine sense of belonging here. If you would like to join us, our membership application form is available to download from our website. You can download an application form for FULL MEMBERSHIP HERE.
All full members must own a boat

You are welcome to visit the club either by car or boat
To gain access by car there is an intercom at the gate which is connected to the Clubhouse – explain that you are prospective member and would like to have a look at the club. Then go to the clubhouse to introduce yourself.
By boat. Find somebody and explain you are a visitor and ask which mooring to use. All our moorings are occupied by members so a vacant mooring may not be available due to the member’s imminent return
