We cannot progress our aims without the support of our dedicated and enthusiastic members and volunteers.
Our members support our aims and objectives towards the restoration, conservation and education of the Suffolk and Essex River Stour Navigation. We hope that you will be able to actively participate by assisting and promoting our activities, events and projects. You can make new friends and learn new skills when you take part in our range of activities.
Please note: Membership does not include use of the River Stour. If you would also like to register a craft for navigational use on the River Stour – find out more.
