There are three stages to joining. New applicants start as Aspirants, then normally become Associate Members fairly quickly, before applying for Full Membership. This process can take as little as 12 months, up to a maximum of 3 years.
Having this transition period allows applicants to decide whether the Club is right for them. It also allows time for the Club to see if applicants are right for the Club!
To apply you can:
- Start the membership application process online.
- Contact our Recruitment Team recruitment@frcc.co.uk if you have problems with the online application process.
The first stage of the online application process requires you to complete your name and contact details. Next you will be sent a log in link which requires you to describe your recent mountain experience, especially over the last 5 years, your general experience, and what you feel you can bring to the Club. If you have enough experience and have appropriate third-party liability insurance (see FAQ on insurance & liability), you will be sent a meets list and encouraged to attend some meets.
