Registration for the new season is live. All returning rowers and those who are joining Cure for the first time and have been directed to this page are invited to complete the registration form linked here:
Parents of rowers under 18 years of age must also complete a parent registration using the same form. A parent can register both their child and themselves once they are in the registration portal (the option to register a second person is found on the last page).
No payments are made via the portal. Once a registration is received, the club will send a membership invoice based on the information provided.
