Sisterhood FAQ

When should I buy a Sisterhood Subscription?

How will I be contacted for trips, events and discounts?

You’ll receive a link to a private WhatsApp notifications channel where we’ll share early access links to events bookings, discount codes and more!

When does my subscription run to/from?

Sisterhood subscription is rolling e.g. if you buy on 28.08.23, your subscription will run until 28.08.24. You’re covered for the whole year. You will be notified by email when your subscription starts and is going to renew/expire. You can manage your subscription any time.

Why does the Sisterhood Subscription exist?

The club is run entirely by unpaid volunteers but there are still lots of costs associated with running it, including insurance, website fees, email platform fees, booking platform fees, venue deposits, and more. 

We ask that if you benefit from the club (attend 2+ events/socials with us), that you purchase a Sisterhood Subscription so we can continue to put on loads of fun stuff for you!

The Sisterhood Subscription also allows us to invest back into the club, apply for additional funding, work with more brands, book more trips and events that need big deposits in advance, and have lots of free stickers to give you all (super important).

I can’t afford Sisterhood subscription, can I still join events?

Yes! You do not need to have purchased a Sisterhood subscription to join Bristol Girls Surf Club. Our online Facebook group and community chats will always be free and open to all. You can also join lots of our events/socials but you won’t benefit from subsidised tickets unless you are a Sisterhood Subscriber. If you have attended 2 or more of our events/socials/trips, we ask that you purchase a Sisterhood Subscription if you are able to. If you would like to join the Sisterhood but cannot afford it, please get in touch as we’re keen to help. If you would like to sponsor someone’s Sisterhood Subscription, please let us know on the contact form.

What does the insurance cover?

Insurance with Surfing England includes global public liability and personal accident cover. This means Sisterhood subscribers are insured in the case of injury or accident at all of our events and trips, both in or out of the water. Having insurance with Surfing England not only means that we are a recognised English Surf Club, but more importantly that we are able to always keep our community safe.

I have more questions, who can I ask?
