COVID-19 Impact on Club Activities

Please be aware that under the current national state of disaster declared in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, and in observance of the lockdown regulations, Cape Town Section activities including meets and socials are limited or downscaled. As a result meets are heavily oversubscribed, and new members have limited opportunities to qualify for certain member privileges.

In addition, please be advised that our strong preference is that anyone attending social events at the Clubhouse, or participating in meets, should be fully vaccinated. We ask you to bear this in mind when submitting an application for membership.

Before proceeding with your application, please read

the frequently asked questions (which includes the criteria for obtaining a hut key)
the responsibilities of members
and the terms and conditions of membership.

Photo Criteria: Applications with photos that do not meet these criteria will not be processed. This photo is used to make your membership card.

Clear visibility of the facial features i.e., members must be identifiable.
No sunglasses, hats, or any object that prevents full visibility of the member’s face.
The image must contain the member’s head and shoulders only, against a blank background.
Original photos only, as jpeg attachments, not scanned copies or photos of photos.

Please pay only the once-off joining fee after submitting your application form. The ratification process takes a few weeks; you will be contacted upon election and will be informed of the subscription fees that are due.

Members who are applying for Joint Membership must each complete an application form, and each pay the entrance fee.

(Should you wish to join another geographically-based section of the MCSA, please visit that section’s site for information, by using the menu in the top right-hand corner of this website.)

Once elected as a member, should I wish to resign or change my membership status I will notify the Club in writing by 31 December of the current year, and I understand that the change will take effect only from 1 January the following year.

I indemnify and absolve The Mountain Club of South Africa, the Sections of the Club and any individually-officiating Club members from any liability of any nature whatsoever and howsoever caused to me which may arise from injury, illness, damage, loss, mishap, accident, or any other occurrence, resulting from my participation in any meet, expedition, event, activity or service held under the auspices of the Club or sanctioned by the Club.
