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.
