The CA runs a ‘Refer a Friend’ programme throughout the year, which gives members the chance to invite their friends to join and enjoy a 25% discount on the first year of annual membership when paying by Direct Debit.
From April to September, we expand this popular promotion by holding a monthly draw for members to win a prize from one of our marine discount partners.
Congratulations to CA member Chris Cooper who won May’s Refer a Friend prize of a Yacht Rigging and Rope Splicing Course worth £149 from First Class Sailing. Here's what Chris had to say about the win:
"I have been doing a variety of marine courses over the last year or so. I had actually been thinking of learning how to splice, so it was a pleasant surprise to have won this competition for introducing a new member to the Cruising Association."
