The year begins with a new membership policy that will apply to any applications and trips from Friday the 22nd of january, 2010. In line with our interest in encouraging people to literally “join the club” and not just join in on club trips, membership will only be granted to people whio have taken part in a minimum of two club trips and people will only be allowed to take part in a maximum of two club trips as a non member. At the same time we waive the daily membership fees for anybody taking part in these two trips before they choose to join or leave the club and welcome you to get involved and get out with the MCK. For those of you who have already made applications before that date this will not apply.

Remember, voting at the MCK AGM and joining the committee are rights for members only.

We’ve added new information to the mountian bike page. It now lists the current rides and events in the Nairobi area.

Following our recent break away from the MCK tradition of formal Xmas dinners, this year the MCK & Dive Club invite you to a Xmas barbeque lunch Kenyan style. The lunch will be an informal affair and will be at the Dive Club grounds by the pool. Plenty of scope for activities in the pool and plenty of ground for kids to be kids. Don’t forget your swimming gear and appetite!

When: 13th December 2008 – 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm
