The Membership Fee consists of two parts: British Orienteering and MDOC Club membership. (The club is also affiliated to the North West Orienteering Association, but the club pays your NWOA affiliation fee.)

The fees for 2023 are:

Seniors who have not been a member of British Orienteering for the last 3 years, will receive complimentary club membership for the first year (i.e. Total Fee £15)

For families the membership fee will be made up of the sum of the parts. E.g. A family containing two senior and one junior members will be charged a British Orienteering Membership Fee of £35 (2 Senior members at £15 + 1 Junior member at £5).

Club membership fees are calculated in the same way as the British Orienteering fees i.e. the sum of the parts - £10 per Senior, Juniors free.

Membership runs from the 1st January to the 31st December each year. New members joining after 1st November will receive membership until 31st December of the following year, i.e. you get two free months.
