How do I join?
There are two key types of memberships: standard for those wishing to undertake the full walking experience, and social for people who may not be able to walk for any reason but wish to be a part of this walking club.
For standard membership, it is necessary to complete three day walks as a visitor (overnight walks and base camps count as 2) paying the administration fee of $5.00 per day walk and $10.00 for extended trips. This covers insurance.
For social membership, it is necessary to attend three social events (club meetings, lunches, dinners or similar). An administration fee of $5 per social event is payable.
After that is a simple matter to fill in the applicable Application for Membership form and send this to the Secretary. Membership is granted after the application form is approved by the committee.
