Rescue services are provided by the Water Sports Centre if the need arises. The club organizes sailing courses, cruises and weekend outings, and its premises are also a very popular barbecue site for members and their guests, and a place to meet with friends and sit outside enjoying a cold drink and a chat. Any staff member of the University is eligible for ordinary membership or temporary membership (if on short term contract). Alumni may join as associate members. Current membership dues include a joining fee of $1,000 for Terms A staff and equivalent, or $500 for all other staff, and monthly fees of $70 (or $80 including hardstanding fee for boat owners).
