How do I become a member of the Association?
Membership
of the Association is open to all riparian owners,

of subscription fees to reflect the various categories

for an individual.

What
do you get for the money?
•
You can directly contact officers of the Association
to get your views heard.
• You can get up to date information on what
is happening on the river from a conservation point
of view.
• If there are proposals, for example from the
EA, which affect the Ribble system then the RFCA will
be involved and you can be involved through your membership.
• Twice a year reports come to members on the
state of play on the Ribble with reports from clubs
and the EA.
• As an individual member you can attend the
AGM, find out what is happening and get your views
heard.
• Perhaps the most important benefit is that
as an individual member you will be part of an organisation
dedicated to the welfare and improvement of the Ribble
system.
