The Relative Hills Society welcomes new members who join us to socialise, share their hill bagging experiences, read our printed journal Relative Matters or go on our trips and events.
It's quick and easy to join online. Your membership fee depends on whether you are currently a member of any national mountaineering body since the annual fee is made up of two parts:
- The RHSoc fee (£12) - paid by all Members
- The Mountaineering Scotland fee (£21.75) - paid if you're not a member of a mountaineering body
If you're already a member or a national mountaineering body such as Mountaineering Scotland (MS), Mountaineering Ireland (MI), or the British Mountaineering Council (BMC), either individually or via another Club, then you will not need to pay the Mountaineering Scotland fee since you already have the personal civil and public liability insurance cover required by Mountaineering Scotland.
You can choose to One-time only for a single payment or, for convenience, Subscribe Yearly where payment occurs automatically unless you cancel. We will notify you of any price increases in advance, but are aiming to maintain the RHSoc fees until 2026.
Please note that the personal civil and public liability insurance cover available if you join us with MS membership, is not travel or health insurance, but offers limited protection in relation to claims of negligence for mountaineering activities. It's explained in more detail, with examples on our membership benefits page.
