This year, we are introducing a trial Valued Member offer to recognise the efforts and contributions of members who have actively participated in the growth and development of our club in the past year. This offer aims to promote the continued engagement of these members, especially those who have the ability to train and mentor other members or who go above and beyond in the facilitation of club trips.
This offer is only available with approval from the general and/or executive committee, and cannot be combined with any other membership discount. If you believe you meet the criteria for this offer, please contact the relevant activity convenor.
Please note, a separate system is in place for any external instructors who are required to run our internal training courses. For more information please contact the treasurer or executive committee.
