Membership


Anyone can become a member of the club. We do not require membership for you to attend club trips, however, two conditions do apply. Firstly, club members do have priority - if a trip fills up, non members will be asked to join or forfeit their place. Secondly, if it is reasonable to expect you to join (ie you live in Sydney, and may be attending more than one trip etc.), we will charge $30 per trip, which can go towards full membership if you decide to do so later (so keep your receipts!).

The membership costs are as follows:

Introductory membership: (Available to undergraduate students of University of Sydney joining for the first time during 'O' Week )

$115

Introductory (other) membership: (Aavailable to undergraduate students of the University of Sydney joining for the first time other than during 'O' Week)
