Joining West Kirby Sailing Club
Welcome to West Kirby Sailing Club. We are a Community Amateur Sports Club and we welcome everyone who wants to participate in and support the sport of sailing.
We are delighted that you wish to join us but if you are not familiar with the Club you will want to understand more about what we do before applying. Have a look under "Sailing" and "Training" and you will see what is on offer. If you have any other questions please submit an enquiry through the Website, contact the appropriate Class Captain (see names under Classes) or please email honregistrar@wksc.org.uk.
We hope that if you decide to join West Kirby Sailing Club you will remain as a member for many years. The Club relies on volunteers and the more you put in the more you will get out of your membership.
