Members

The OAC is an independent mountaineering club, founded in 1876 and managed by a President, Secretary, and Third Officer, who are elected every three years at the AGM. The club exists mostly as a network of friends, although occasional climbing meets are organised, along with an annual dinner in Oxford. The Club is not affiliated with the University of Oxford.

The OAC is open to alumni of the University of Oxford who have an active interest in mountaineering. Aspirant members should be a graduate of the University, and have completed a number of mountaineering routes in the Alps or equivalent mountain ranges. Current junior members of the University are not eligible for membership.

To join the OAC you must be proposed and seconded by existing full members of the Club. Applications for membership are considered each year at the Club's AGM, which is usually held in September. If you would like to be considered for membership, but are not in contact with any current members then please email us.

The Oxford Alpine Club is not directly linked with the OUMC, although many life-members of OUMC go on to join the OAC. The President and Secretary of the OUMC are invited as guests to the OAC Annual Dinner each year, and will be eligible for election as members once they graduate from the University.
