FAQs
🐑❔"I'm not an Adelaide uni student. Can I still join?"
- 🐑💬 Yes, the general public (including students from other universities) are welcome to join the AUMC and we have plenty of non student members. You'll just need to say that you're general public in the registration process and it will cost a bit more as AU sport charges a $97 fee to non-students to cover costs. Our AUMC membership fee is $20 for everyone. More info on memberships here.
🐑❔"What is included in an AUMC membership?"
- 🐑💬 Sign up and attend club events; Access to equipment to use on trips; Discounts at outdoor stores accross Adelaide; Discounted indoor climbing on VRC Tuesdays!
🐑❔"Can I/my friend come to indoor climbing without being a member?"
- 🐑💬 Yes, it is a public gym and of course anyone is welcome to come along and climb with us without being an AUMC member. However, if you are not a member, you will not get the discount and you will have to hire a harness/shoes from the gym, as our gear is for members only.
