The above licences require a medical examination.

Medical For Your Race/Competition Licence

A Doctor will be available at Avos Watersports Den for the Winter Round on the 6th & 7th April to carry out medicials for a small charge of £70  (can be up to £150 if done by your own GP). If you intend to take out an annual licence this year, then this will be your only chance, other than going to your own GP.  Please note: The JSRA will only issue 3 x Event Licences before an Annual Licence is required.

There are discounts available for families, please email the JSRA office for details.

Event Licences

Event Licence  -  £150

There is a restriction of 3 Event Licences per year after which a medical examination will be required.  Should a full licence be applied for then any previous Event licence payments will be deducted from a full licence fee (in the same year).

Insurance

With all the above licences participants receive 3rd party public liability insurance. Please note the above licences do not include racer-to-racer Personal Accident cover, therefore it is strongly recommended that all racers seek out Personal Accident Cover whilst competing in any JSRA event.
