Non Members are welcome on OTMC trips, and we ask all
intending participants to download and read our
'Tramping with the OTMC' guide - this
contains important information on how our trips are run, how
to keep yourself safe and how you can assist our leaders as
they plan our trips. The OTMC does not offer 'guided walks'
and there is in an expectation that all participants will
follow the guidelines outlined in our 'Tramping with the
OTMC Guide'. Particpation on OTMC trips is at the discretion
of the trip leader.
Non-Members are limited to two multi-day trips per
financial year (July to June) - membership information is
available
here. |
