Annual subscriptions are added in September, or one month after joining mid-season. If you join part-way through the season, your subscription will be prorated accordingly. For queries about which membership category applies to you, contact obhcmembership@gmail.com.
The club provides general liability insurance for all members. Personal accident insurance is not included - members should arrange their own cover if required.
