Newcomers are welcome to join our meets once registered as a 'Prospective'. This gives you a chance to see if you think the club is for you, and that the meets we run are what you are looking for. Once registered as a prospective member you can come to a few meets before deciding if you want to apply for associate membership.
As a Prospective member, you will receive 3 months of free BMC Third Party Liability Insurance.

Prospective members are not counted as KMC members, it is only be joining the club as an 'associate member' that you become a club member.

We don't do instruction, tuition or coaching. If you're a complete beginner, take a short course to get the basics in whichever discipline you're interested in. To attend our climbing meets, you should own you own basic kit - harness, helmet, rock shoes etc and at the very least be able to tie in and belay competently.

How this works:

Register online, in advance of your first meet, as a Prospective.
