All new Provisional members, EXCEPT for coxswains, are required to pay a one-time initiation fee.

Per the RBC constitution: "If at any time you let your membership lapse, you will be expected to complete the membership process again, including payment of the initiation fee, to re-join the club. (Membership may be kept active by dropping to Supporting membership, and reinstatement to an active membership is allowed upon payment of full dues. Members who do so may revert back to the Senior or Provisional status that they had attained before becoming supporting members)."
