How to Join:

YAC operates a try-before-you-buy policy whereby you come on a couple of meets (evenings or day activities) or a longer trip, and if you like what you see (and you are not an axe wielding psychopath) you pay up and you are in.

You will need to fill in an application from (see below) before coming on the trips so we are covered by the BMC insurance (prospectives). You are entitled to only one longer weekend or week meet as a prospective and will be expected to join up after that if you wish to come on any other trips.
