¹ For junior members, Rowing Australia will invoice Rowing WA directly for their fees. This is not a split payment system like that used for senior members. These fees are paid by Rowing WA directly and are separate from the capitation fee..
² Merchant Fees calculations Pin-Payment Fees.
'Event Type' is defined for each event at each regatta. Review a Regatta's Event List to check the Event Type.
³ Senior Competitive Rowers also need to meet age eligibility to compete in Masters events.
⁴ Junior Competitive Rowers also need to meet school eligibility requirements to compete in School Regattas.

While Life Members maintain a connection to the club, this membership does not provide the same benefits or access as Non-Competitive or Competitive memberships.If a Life Member wishes to actively participate in rowing activities, they must upgrade their membership to either Non-Competitive or Competitive to ensure appropriate access and insurance coverage.
Refer to the Rules of Racing for additional eligibility requirements.
'Unrestricted' events are those open to all rowing members (irrespective of membership type) e.g. EQ Regattas, Canning Bridge Classic (certain events only), Corporate Regatta.
