This section gives you some information about how to join Glasgow JMCS. This includes our club policy on becoming a full member, advantages of membership and annual club subscription
BECOMING A MEMBER: Membership of Glasgow JMCS is open to all those over 18, without discrimination as defined by the Equality Act 2010. You are able to come along on two weekend meets, or four evening meets, as a prospective member. This gives you the chance to try out the club, and meet us before applying to be a member.
ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS: Our annnual membership fee is currently £24.25. In addition, for insurance reasons, all members are required to be members of Mountaineering Scotland (MS). The club rate for MS is £26.75 annually (a £20 reduction on individual membership of MS). Therefore full membership of Glasgow JMCS and MS is currently £51.
