Join us!

CUHWC is open to everybody in Cambridge, regardless of whether or not you’re a member of the University. New members are welcome at any time of the year. To find out more about who we are, what we do and whether we’re what you’re looking for, see the club introduction and FAQs, or browse the rest of the site.

At the start of the academic year in October, you can also find out more by coming along to the University’s Societies’ Fair and/or the club Squash (an informal presentation followed by refreshments). Details of these will appear in the calendar a few weeks in advance.

If you’re already convinced, see below for how to join!

Mailing list

You can join the mailing list to receive information about trips and other events (usually around 1 email per week in term time), with no obligation to become a member. To sign up, email the mailing list managers asking to be added.

Membership

You will need to become a member to come on any of our trips (except for the Freshers’ Day Trip in October). You can join either in advance or at the same time as signing up for a trip. However, you don’t need to be a member to come to our regular social events – the Thursday pub meets are a great place to start if you’d like to meet people and have a chat about our trips before committing.

How to join

1. Print off a copy of the membership form and fill it in.
2. Send it, along with payment (see below), to the membership secretary. Alternatively, bring both to a pub meet or trip sign up.

At the start of the academic year, you can also join at the Squash - we will have a pile of membership forms, but remember to bring your chequebook.

Current membership costs are as follows:

• £17 for annual membership – valid until the end of the academic year in which you join (i.e. 30 September). If you join after the start of Easter term, there is a reduced fee of £10.
• £26 for course membership – valid until three years after the beginning of the academic year in which you become a member of the Club, or (where applicable) the end of the academic year during which your course of study at the University of Cambridge ends, if later.

Cheques are strongly preferred, made payable to "CU Hillwalking Club", with your name, email address and the word ‘membership’ on the back. If you cannot pay by cheque, put the exact cash in an envelope clearly marked with your name, email address and the word ‘membership’.

If you have any questions about membership or how to join, please contact the membership secretary.
