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.

If you are a member of another walking club in Victoria affiliated with Bushwalking Victoria, you only have to pay the insurance component once. If you select the other club as your primary club, the standard membership fee is $32.
Members who do not think they will be doing much walking with the club in a year (perhaps due to extended overseas holiday plans or illness/injury), can take out a Holding
membership. This costs Single.....$30.00; Family.....$45.00. Holding members are restricted to four one-day walks per year, or one extended walk event.
Membership includes four newsletters (Contour Lines) and programs per year. Quarterly programs are emailed out in December, March, June and September. Newsletters and
programs are also available on this website in the Members Only section.
