Membership

Harbour Sports Club is a non-profit community interest company, and membership is how people take part in its work.

Who can join

Membership is open to people who want to take part in amateur sport and to newcomers from Hong Kong who are building a life in the UK. Members do not need to have played a sport before, and they can join at any stage of their time in the country.

How to join

Step one

Make an enquiry

Tell us which activities interest you and when you are available to train.

Step two

Complete the form

Provide your basic details so that the coordinators can place you in the right group.

Step three

Attend an introductory session

Try an activity before you decide, with no obligation to continue.

Step four

Confirm membership

Once you have agreed to the club rules, your membership begins and you can join regular sessions.


How the club is governed

As a community interest company, Harbour Sports Club reinvests any surplus in its activities rather than paying it to owners. Members can read the governing documents and learn how committee decisions are made.

What membership includes

Membership gives access to the club's training programme and to the wider activities that run through the year. Members have a voice in how the club develops and can help shape new sessions.

  • Access to regular sessions in the training programme
  • Places in team placements for members who want to compete
  • Invitations to community events and social gatherings
  • A vote at general meetings on the club's direction

Community life

Many members first come for the sport and stay for the people. Families share information about schools and services, and members who have settled for longer often help newer arrivals find their way around.

Fees and enquiries

Details of membership fees and any concessions are shared when you make an enquiry, so that you have the current information before you decide. Nothing is required to start an enquiry, and questions about how the club spends its income are always welcome.
