Sign up fee's are just an excuse to wring more money out of you.

$250 is fairly steep, but I bet a lot of it will go towards insurance and property upkeep. Too bad it's on the other side of the state from me. If you could stay at the property whenever you like, then it would be a bargain. Driver training is an excellent idea.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Yes well if you intended to use it often then yea why not.
Say 20 nights a year at $10 each. Easy.
But the training as well I guess will be worth it as many trainers would probably charge $200 for a days course.
Still. It is a lot up front

Well, do you like being popular? What about being the official tow vehicle?

I have personally seen their property and it is pretty good. Bloke at work is a member and has access to it.
Fees go towards maintaining it, insurance costs and small part to the training they provide. Worthwhile if you're intending to go on a lot of their runs.

I have been a member of the Nissan club in Vic. It's a pretty active club and the fees are most reasonable for the property access, insurance and driver training in my opinion. I haven't been a member since 2012 mainly because of my health and the club meets down in Springvale/Noble Park which is a good 30km from my home.

A portion of the fees goes to the 4wd association who do a lot to keep tracks and access to the high country open for all.....even for those who choose not to contribute.

The Yarck Hilton as its called is available to members to use , you just put
down a deposit on a key to the property and its yours as long as you are a member
Its a great spot tp have as a home base to venture futher north to Mansfield , Sheepyard flats. Howqua
Or Craigs hut,or Mt bulla. you can sleep in the hut if the weather turns foul, but plenty of camp sites around the property
They have a big toilet block with showers Hot/cold water, most is run via solar panels.
Inside the hut is a huge 10' x 6' fire place all wood supplied just re fill it from the stock outside
sweep up the shed and leave and lock the gate
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

That's not really a fair comment considering 4wd VIC membership is not really available to nissanpatrol.com members, the association is not really catering for possibly the largest segment of 4x4 drivers those in a forum and don't wish to be subjected to club..., let's call it "politics"
