Prospective members are advised that applications will only be processed in the new year, mid-January 2025. We appreciate your patience.

Initial Agreement

Thank you for deciding to apply to join the Cape Town Section of the Mountain Club.

Please note that as a new member, hut usage and access is limited.

Whilst all membership benefits are extended to you, you will not be able to book a hut, nor have access to a Club key, until you have met the criteria set out below. You will be able to visit a hut, in a party arranged by a key-carrying member, at the applicable guest rate. You are unable to take your own guests as a new member.

The criteria to obtain a hut key and access to the huts are:

A minimum of one year’s membership.
Participation in a work meet and/or conservation meet on a Club property.
Attendance of a new member social, to which you will be invited.
Participation in Club meets (as found on the calendar). Social evening and community meets do not count.

A motivation letter can be submitted to the office upon your completion of the above criteria.

We are confident that through participation in meets and activities, time spent with other members, and exploring the properties, you will enjoy your journey towards becoming a key-carrying member of the Club. As a member, you are encouraged to participate in club activities, and contribute through volunteering if you are able and willing.

The General Committee reserves the right to review these criteria at any time.
