Membership Fees
There is no joining fee at Drift. Annual membership runs from October 1st to the end of September. Whilst we do not offer half-year membership, if a vacancy becomes available after April 1st, then a half season fee may be paid for the rest of that Club Year.
Membership availability
Because this is a strictly controlled, pristine environment and only allow a maximum of 50 annual members, a waiting list system is used when membership is full.
However, we also allow a limited number of temporary weekly and weekend memberships, so a few visitors may enjoy sampling our sport in this amazing, secluded environment. Please call to check if a weekly or weekend membership is available.
