SAA membership

Whether joining for the first time or renewing your membership please read the appropriate text thoroughly before continuing.

All queries and problems to do with membership should be sent to scunnyangling@gmail.com  

Our waters provide something for everyone with match lakes, family orientated ponds, canals, containing all types of species including carp, crucians, tench, bream, pike, etc. Our stretches of rivers can produce good catches of barbel and are much sort after venues. The River Ancholme and the Stainforth & Keadby canal are popular venues for both pleasure and match anglers.

We are a Not-for-Profit Club with all proceeds going towards maintaining and improving our club facilities.

We offer a number of membership options, and your membership starts from the moment that you pay and lasts for 1 year:

  • New members, regardless of membership type, must pay a £30 joining fee.
  • Full membership £60 (aged 18 to 65)
  • Senior membership £50 (aged 66+)
  • Concessions £50 (Blue badge holders and emergency & armed services personnel)
  • Membership is free to disabled veterans.
  • Membership cards £6-50 – these are entirely optional and may be bought if you wish

Evidence is required in all cases. Blue badge holders, emergency and armed services personnel should email scunnyangling@gmail.com with proof and they will then receive instructions and a promo code.

Conditions of membership

By joining Scunthorpe AA, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

We now use Clubmate, an online membership system to store our members details and to enable automatic member notifications. You can create your Clubmate account by clicking on the Join Online link below.

Once you have created your Clubmate account the following items MUST be entered –

Title (Mr, Mrs, Ms etc) Forename and Surname
Date of Birth
Email address
Full postal address including Postcode
Mobile phone number
Car registration – you may enter more than one vehicle if appropriate or, if you’re not a car owner, you must enter No car.
Photograph – your photo MUST be a passport style selfie showing your full face. Please do not upload a trophy shot, or an image where your face is obscured.

Memberships cards

When buying/renewing your membership there is an option to buy a membership card (£6.50). Whilst the club uses the Clubmate app as the main form of membership ID, we are aware that some people like a physical card. You do not have to buy one. Ours features the work of renowned artist David Miller.

Juniors – aged under 18

Regrettably, we are unable to accept anyone under the age of 18 as an independent member. We can only accept under 18s if they are sponsored by an existing adult SAA member, and this must either be a family member, or we must have written permission from the parent/guardian for a non-family member. Then the junior may only fish one of our venues when accompanying their sponsor.
