The club membership year runs from 1 April to 31 March.
This is the same as the Mountaineering Scotland (MS) membership year for affiliated clubs, which simplifies our affiliation to MS.
Annual JMCS subscription rates for 2026-27
There are two subscription rates, depending on whether or not you are a member of MS (either as an individual or as a member of another club affiliated to MS), as follows.
| Full | £40.75 | (if you are not a member of MS) | ||
| Reduced | £12.00 | (if you are a member of MS) |
Notes:
- The MS Affiliated Club Membership Subscription for 2026-27 is £38.75
-
The Full JMCS Subscription consists of the Reduced JMCS Subscription (which we keep) plus the MS Subscription (which we pay to MS).
That is: £12.00 + £38.75 = £40.75 - In other words, we keep £12.00 from each member, and the rest goes to MS!
- Note: It is a condition of the JMCS affiliation to MS (and hence our insurance policy with MS) that all JMCS members must be affiliated to MS, either via us or some other club, or individually.
So, you cannot just decide that you don’t want to be in MS and pay us the reduced rate without being a member of MS some other way. - The club bank details, and how to pay the subscription, are on: Membership sign up and renewal
Subscription rates for new members who join part way through the year
New members who join part way through the membership year pay a reduced rate, depending on the month of joining.
