Membership fee increase 2024 |
|
As members of the Mountain Club of South Africa, Johannesburg Section, we are united by a shared love for the mountains and a collective responsibility to preserve their natural beauty. Today, we face increasing challenges in protecting these cherished landscapes, especially from escalating threats like illegal mining activities. Understanding the Membership Fee Increase Reflecting on this, we approach the subject of our membership fee increase. In recent years, we've managed smaller adjustments, but the compounding effect, combined with rising needs in conservation, now necessitates a more significant increase. This decision is pivotal in ensuring the sustainability of our efforts to protect and nurture the mountain environments we all treasure. |

The Value of Your Membership Your membership is much more than access to club facilities and activities. It’s an investment in the future of our mountains. Every contribution you make is a step towards safeguarding these spaces for future generations. |

We are calling upon all members for contributions for the MCSA's journal for 2023! The Journal of the MCSA is an annual publication that serves as a record of the mountaineering-related activities of the Club's members. Each year, there are articles and illustrations focusing on the environment, the flora and fauna encountered in remote parts of our country and elsewhere, on search and rescue, and on the history, geology and archaeology of mountain areas. With this extensive range of content, the Journal is also an interesting, informative, entertaining and inspiring work, reflecting the spirit of adventure of the mountaineers and explorers of South Africa. Guidelines, journal stylesheet, photo template and more documents about the journal can be downloaded from our website below: |
