To join, it is expected that you would tramp as a visitor first. This allows us to understand your ability and for you to evaluate the tramps we do. Visitors: Please phone or Text 021 312 312 Dave Bastin or email bookings@bishopdaletrampers.org.nz 

Visitors are welcome to participate in our tramps if we have sufficient seats on the bus or extra car transport can be arranged.
Active members take precedence and visitors will be advised of the situation when booking. Members have priority over visitors until 5pm on the Monday before the tramp.

New members should have some tramping experience and be able to walk 3 – 5 hours. As many of our tramps include hill walking it is important that prospective members have the ability to climb hills, eg from Princess Margaret Hospital to the Sugarloaf or the Bridle Path.

To have their membership confirmed new members must do 3 qualifying tramps and all members must do 10 tramps per year (1st April  to 31st March ) to retain their full membership. Intending members may only participate in the alternative option for their 3 qualifying tramps.

The club is funded through the weekly transport & admin charge so there are no subscriptions to pay. A no refund penalty will be incurred for a late cancellation (Less than a day before the tramp) or a “no show”. We carry comprehensive first aid kits and personal locator beacons but individual members are required to carry their own first aid kits.
