Declaration

I wish to apply for membership of the Derwent Mountaineering Club and will attend three meets within a three month period as a climbing prospective member. After the three month period, I will be eligible for full membership.

As a prospective climbing member I will attend one walking meet prior to joining the club. On acceptance of full membership the annual subscription of £26 (renewable the following October), (at certain times of year there will be one off additional amount of £10 to pay to cover a transitional period) will be presented to the club secretary.

Cheques should be made payable to ‘Derwent Mountaineering Club’.

Participation statement

I am over 18 and I accept that mountaineering, hill walking and rock climbing are activities with a danger of personal injury or death, and I wish to participate in them voluntarily. I am aware that other members of the club that are perceived to be ‘in charge’, or even just leading a walk, are not necessarily qualified, do not need to be qualified, are not regarded by the club nor regard themselves as ‘technical experts’, but are amateur climbers, walkers or mountaineers with some experience who are happy to impart their knowledge and that any advice given be viewed with this in mind by the recipient. If accepted as a full member I agree to abide by the constitution of the club.

BMC Affiliated Club

The BMC recognises that climbing, hill walking and mountaineering are activities with danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their actions and involvement.
