The club runs a stall during every O'Week (session 1 and 2). Come and visit us to find out everything you want to know, join the club and meet some of the old members.
Club meetings are usually held once a month during session. These meetings are announced well in advance on our website. We always have presentations, beer, food, trip announcements and general socialising. Its a great way to meet club members and make new friends.
Every thursday night during session, club members climb for just $3 at the Ledge climbing gym at Sydney Uni. Some people join only for this! If you want more information contact the exec. There is usually a representative of the club signing people up between 6:30 and 8.30pm but its best to make sure in advance.
You can also arrange to meet the club gear guys at uni. Their contact details can be found under Contact Us.
