Membership + Club Shop

There are three types of membership, Adult, Social and Junior. Potential new members have three free trial opportunities to try out the game before becoming a Member, see Join Us

Adult Membership

Club fees

Camberwell have an annual adult membership fee of $80 p.a. Added to this is a $35 p.a. licence fee to Petanque Federation Australia which provides insurance cover. The annual membership cost is therefore $105. The membership year is from July to June with fees due before the start of the year. There is a sliding scale for people joining part way through a year. Download a Membership Application Form at the bottom of this page.

PFA licence fee

All club members throughout Australia must be licensed as players by Petanque Federation Australia, (PFA). Being licensed means you are automatically covered by Australia wide insurance should you have an accident between the time you leave home to travel to play at an authorised club to the time you return home after playing. There is the usual sliding scale of benefits for various types of accidental injury. For players over 80 the benefits are reduced. If you’d like further details ask the Secretary Deirdre,  cpci.secretary@gmail.com

Associate Membership

You can become an Associate Member of Camberwell so long as you are already a member of another club through which your $35 PFA license fee is paid. Associate membership gives you access to all the facilities, playing opportunities, social activities  (some charges may apply) and benefits of an Adult Membership. Associate membership costs just $50 p.a.“If joining in a period after the start of the fee year, fees are pro rated based on the Quarter in which you join”  

Junior Membership

Juniors are those under 18 on the day they join and are not charged any fee by Camberwell. They pay $10 p.a. for their PFA licence and insurance cover unless they join in the fourth quarter, April – June, in which case PFA waive their fee for that quarter.
