Unsure about joining?
Prospective members are welcome to meet the club, if they wish, at a climbing wall (contact the Membership Secretary) or come along to a Social Evening at The Devereux pub. You may also want to sample a club meet (trip away) by attending as a guest. If so, contact the Membership Secretary.
Eligibility
Membership is open to people over 18 years old who live or work in South East England. If you have any questions regarding eligibility, contact the membership secretary.
Training
The club welcomes and encourages enthusiastic new members of all interests and abilities. The club does not undertake to train members in any mountain activities and emphasises that members must take full responsibility for their own safety in the mountains.
Membership Rates
Introductory membership costs £35 (£30 annual subscription + £5 joining fee). All memberships are renewable on the 1st of January each year, with the exception of new members whose applications are dated on or after the 1st October of the existing year.
Application Form
To apply, please download, print and complete the application form (MS Word or PDF). Send the completed form along with your membership fee to the membership secretary, Chris Bailey: 31 Caribou Way, Cherry Hinton, Cambridge, CB1 9XF. Cheques should be made out to "London Mountaineering Club". The form must be signed: emailed forms cannot be accepted.
The Joining Process
Once you have sent in your form and cheque and your application has been accepted, you will become an introductory member. You will be sent a members' information pack, a membership card, the latest copy of the newsletter and a directory of members.
