​​​​​​​Subscriptions for the 2021/2022 season:


As a non-profit organisation, Nelson Rowing Club aims to keep all costs including membership subscriptions at the lowest possible level.  The annual subscription fees of the Club help cover operational costs which include building overheads (including power, gas, water), equipment overheads (including maintenance and insurance), asset usage and replacement and GST.  We believe our subscriptions represent good value and are on par or cheaper than most similarly successful New Zealand rowing clubs.

Learn to Row programme (5 weeks)$100.00
College Rowers$630.00
Coxswains$57.00
Club Rowers$630.00

* All competitive rowers (college, club and masters) and coxswains pay a licence fee to Rowing New Zealand to compete at South Island and National regattas.  The fee is collected by Nelson Rowing Club and forwarded to RNZ.  


​​​​​​​Payment Plans:

As a non-profit organisation, Nelson Rowing Club relies on its members paying their subscription fees, regatta costs and other costs on time.  During the main regatta season (from October to March) the Club has significant bills to pay so if we do not receive prompt payment from our members, it puts the cashflow of the Club under pressure.

To help make the payment of subscription fees and regatta costs more manageable, the Club is happy to put payment plans in place to spread these costs over the duration of the season(for regatta costs, or over the year for subscription costs .  For further information, please contact our Club Treasurer on [email protected]
