The WBC uses TryBooking as the primary means to apply for membership. Payment may be made by credit card, ApplePay or PayPal.  Note that there is a 50 cent processing fee for TryBooking and PayPal charges an extra 0.5% on top. If you would prefer to make your payment using your bank's internet-based direct account transfer, stop, do not use this website. Please use the paper-based form found on our website or contact the Membership Secretary.

Are you applying after October 1?  If so, you are eligible for a 50% discount off your annual membership fee.  The discount does not apply to the joining fee.  You will need to have a discount code (available from the Membership Secretary) in your possesion before you proceed.  If you do not have the discount code, please stop, and contact the Membership Secretary.

The TryBooking process consists of four easy steps.  IMPORTANT: The four steps must be completed from this page through to payment for each member, in turn - do not try to apply for multiple members in a single payment.

How it works (don't worry, we will lead you through it...):

• Step 1 (this page): We outline the risks, and the obligations of members, as well as the terms and conditions of membership.
• Step 2: Select the ticket item according to the membership type you are applying for.  Note that any discounts are applied at step 4.
• Step 3: Confirm your membership type, mobile phone number and provide additional information the club uses to administer and plan our activities.
• Step 4: This last step processes your payment and confirms the completion of the process.  You will receive a confirmation email.  For credit card payment enter your card details, name, address, home phone number and email address details. If paying by PayPal you will be re-directed to the PayPal site to set up the payment and then you will confirm your phone number and email address for the receipt.  For ApplePay, all the details are collected from Apple and your receipt will be sent to the email address Apple have for you.  

TIPS

• Start Step 1 With No Shopping Cart - If you are in the middle of using TryBooking and you do not complete the process (such as being interrupted, losing connection etc.), a shopping cart may appear in the top right-hand corner of the page, and it may have a previously selected membership fee (ticket) inside it.  You need to clear the cart before you restart the process - click on the cart and click 'x remove'.  If you do not start with an empty cart (no cart appears) then you will not be able to select your membership at Step 2 - the tickets will be greyed out.  The shopping cart should only appear once you have selected your membership in Step 2.
• Click on Text for List Boxes - Some items in Step 3 require you to choose one or more options from a list.  For the list of items to appear you need to click on the text, not the down arrow to the right of the item.
• Phone Numbers - At step 3 the WBC specifically asks for your mobile phone number - If you do not have a mobile phone, leave it blank.  In step 4 TryBooking also requires you to enter a phone number - if you have specified your mobile phone at step 3, you may insert your home number in step 4.  If you do not have a home phone number, please specify your mobile in both steps.

THE SEMI-LEGAL STUFF

At step 3 you will be asked to confirm that a) you have read, understood and accepted the risks associated with our activities and b) you have read, understood and agreed to the terms and conditions of membership.  These are outlined below.  Please read this information carefully before proceeding as it outlines the responsibilities and obligations of your membership.
