Renew your registration for 2023:
From January 2023, we will require all new and renewing members to read and understand some documentation that will ensure we are all aware of the risks associated with rowing, and what we need to do as club members to reduce these risks.
Step 1 – River Safety Video:
The Qld Government in conjunction with Rowing Qld (RQ) has compiled a short 16-minute video on general river safety guidelines. You need to watch this before you apply or re-apply for membership. The link to the video is here:
http://vimeo.com/105957607
Step 2 – Safety Management Plan:
The club has developed a Safety Management Plan. You will need to have read this document, and acknowledge that you will adhere to the guidelines that are published in the document. It can be found here:
Brisbane and GPS Rowing Club Safety Management Plan 2013 This document is being updated and refreshed for 2023. It is worth reading to understand what topics are covered in this manual.
Step 3 – Renewing Members Procedure:
When you have completed the steps above, you can renew your 2023 membership in the box below.
If your details in Revolutionise are incorrect, then we will not be able to contact you. If you have not registered in Revolutionise, you will NOT be able to enter into Regattas in 2023.
To renew your membership:
When you clck on the link below you will be directed to Revolutionise (the Membership Database) application where you can renew your membership as a returning member. Once you enter your name and DOB, you can select the type of Rowing Queensland Registration (called a capitation fee) that you require. Options are mainly Competitive or Non Competitive. You will then need to ADD club membership fees. These fees cover volunteer annual membership or non-volunteer for 2023.
Step 4 – You are now a valid B&GPS Member for 2023
When you have done all of that …. Welcome to another year of rowing at Brisbane & GPS Rowing Club. We hope you have many wonderful rows and lots of great water.
