Joining

PPC uses JustGo – the same membership platform as Paddle UK (formerly British Canoeing). This allows you to manage your PPC and Paddle UK memberships in one, integrated platform.

Joining PPC does not require you to have a paid Paddle UK On the Water or On the Bank membership, but if you are already a Paddle UK member, it’s simple to add on PPC membership.

Joining PPC is made in three steps:

  1. Log in or create account with Paddle UK and add / update your basic details (Sign up is free, you do not need to join Paddle UK to be a member of Pangbourne Paddlesport Club)
  2. Link your Paddle UK account to Pangbourne Paddlesport Club (from the My Profile / My Clubs panel)
  3. Add Pangbourne Paddlesport Club membership (from the My Profile / Membership panel)

There are step-by-step instructions here.
