==== Full Membership ====
The most important thing about joining your class association is that you are supporting your class. You also get invited to Cherub specific training events for improving on the water skills, Sticky Weekends for improving boat repair skills, and Blasts for improving your fun having skills. You can take part in class racing events. You also get access to the members of our website and forum both of which are full of topical tips, technical hints, amusing stories about other cherub sailors, in-jokes, reports from events, news from members, etc etc. With membership comes the opportunity to make and edit pages on the website, this lets you build a page about your boat, and it's exploits, or add tips to the technical pages. Quite apart from that, you get a say in how the association is run and a vote in any ballots that may occur! 

===Special Offer===
If you are **new** to the class and join after the end of August you get the following year free! 

==== Student Membership ====
Student membership is the 50% the cost of Full membership. This is for //bona fide// students. Don't cheat, or spankings will be handed down without mercy!  Student members do not have voting rights,  should they wish to vote they will be required to upgrade to full membership.

==== Event Membership ====
All participants (helm and crew) must be a member of the UKCCOA for Open Meetings and the Nationals.  For those that are not already full members we will be implementing an Event membership.  This will cost £10 respectively per event.  Once a person has paid this at 3 events they will become either a Full  or a Student member.  This amount can be paid to any committee member at the event.

==== Sail Number ====
When you are building a new boat, before you can get it measured and compete you need to have a sail number you can put on the sail. Your 25 quid gets you the next available sail number and it will belong to your boat forever.
