Join Us

Membership of OUMC is available to anybody who would like to join; as well as students and university staff, we have many members with no affiliation to Oxford University who take part in all aspects of the club's activities. We are always looking for new members, and even if you've never climbed before you will be just as welcome as those with years of mountaineering experience.

Membership Benefits

Memberships

Becoming a member

  1. Fill out the online membership form to apply for membership.
  2. Pay your membership fee (see below) by bank transfer immediately, instructions will display once you've submitted your form.
  3. Your membership will NOT BE VALID (i.e. you will not be insured) until you have recieved a confirmation email (contact the treasurer if you have not received confirmation within 3 working days of payment).
Annual Membership

Valid until 1st October. Must be renewed at the beginning of Michaelmas term to continue membership.

Current club membership fees for those joining in Michaelmas term (October-December):

Students - £35 Non-students (including university staff) - £40

Membership fees for those joining after Michaelmas term(January-September):

Students - £30 Non-students (including university staff) - £35

Trial Membership

The trial membership (previously called term) option allows you to become a full member until the end of the current term for only £12. You can only be a trial member once.

When your trial membership expires, you will have to upgrade to annual membership if you still wish to be a member of the club during that academic year.

Upgrading to annual membership costs £23 for students and £28 for non-students. Membership after upgrading lasts until the start of the next academic year.

Life Membership

If you have paid annual membership to OUMC four times (not necessarily in consecutive years) you automatically become an OUMC life member.

Life members continue to receive all the benefits of OUMC membership indefinitely, but no longer have to pay membership fees.

Life members who wish to attend OUMC meets (making use of club transport or climbing with club members) will be asked to pay a charge of £20 for students or £23 for non-students. This is paid to the BMC for insurance purposes, and covers the same period as annual membership.
