Swaledale Outdoor Club welcomes new members. If you already know what the club does, you can find the application form and memberships rates here. Alternatively we would like you to come along to one or two programmed events without obligation, so that you can meet us, try the club out and make sure it is right for you. If you would like to contact activity organisers and arrange to come out then create an account below and login as a guest to access the Member's Programme in the menu on the left hand side, this contains contact details for each activity.

There are many benefits from becoming a member of the SOC not least that you get to do your favourite activities with a group of like minded people who really love what they do and welcome people of all abilities.
