Affiliation

All the clubs listed in Club Finder are affiliated to the ARA.  This information is current and ARA divisional representatives and officers can check on the status of clubs in their regions by using the regional filter.

Affiliated clubs pay a fee based on their membership and are required to follow ARA guidance and rules relating to good practice, safety and welfare.  The ARA provides a mailing to all clubs three times a year, with policy updates and other information about Association activities.  Support is available for all our clubs on matters regarding management, insurance, facilities, funding, safety and child protection.

Clubs who do not carry out required safety procedures and/or do not submit their annual affiliation fee by the required dates will be suspended from racing initially and then, in line with ARA rules, disaffiliated. 

A condition of entry to Henley Royal Regatta is that English clubs must have been affiliated to the ARA for at least twelve months prior to the Regatta.
