MEMBERSHIP FORMS

Membership gives access to free bank fishing, 7 days a week, on all the club’s waters and
there is no requirement to book bank fishing. There is also no charge for any SUAC boats
(green boats) for members, this is included in your membership fee but boats must be
booked in advance. Please visit or contact Stòras Uibhist, Oifis Stòras, Daliburgh, South Uist.
HS8 5SS (01878 700 101) or info@southuistestates.com.
Bookings can be made in advance from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm: Monday to Friday. When the
Stòras Uibhist office is closed, as on Saturdays and Sunday, boat bookings can be made on
Friday.
You will need to quote your membership number to complete the booking.
To ensure fairness, anglers cannot book the same boat/loch more than once in a 7 day
period. This will not apply to any bookings made within 48 hours of the proposed boat use.
Members must follow all boat safety information, which can be found here.
Junior members/visitors (under 18 years of age) may not book boats and must be
accompanied (in the boat) by an adult member or permit holder, who will be responsible for
their safety and behaviour.
A SUAC membership discounted rate for Estate boats and bank fishing is available, please
contact Stòras Uibhist on 01878 700 101 for further details.
Full members who cease to reside on Uist may retain their membership provided that they
continue to pay the annual membership fee. If the membership lapses it cannot be
renewed unless full time Uist residency is resumed.
