Memberships

Walking as a visitor

You can join us as a visitor without committing to become a full member.

Come along to our next club meeting for information on all our upcoming activities.

At the meeting, you will be greeted by one of our friendly members who will give you all the details about our club.

During the meeting, you will hear the details about each activity in the coming months, such as the distance, terrain, walk grading, meeting time and meeting place.

At the conclusion of meeting you will be then given an opportunity to sign up for any walks you wish to participate in.

We also conduct a brief induction for all visitors on the operation of our walks and all necessary safety requirements for bushwalking.

For more information, please read Becoming a Full Member below

Becoming a full member

This will ensure that you have the required physical ability to participate in activities organised by the club.
