Provisional membership lasts for a
maximum of a year.
Provisional members are expected to
take part in at least 2 Away Meets before they are eligible to apply for
Full Membership.
The club has
agreements with various outdoor shops where members are eligible for discounts
in the order of, eg 10% - 15% on production of their membership cards.
This means that it is often possible to recover the initial cost of membership
by simply buying a pair of boots or a coat. That is to say nothing of the
savings on accommodation that can be made by staying in the club's own hut or
as a member visiting other club huts.
