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.
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.

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"
