A lot of people have been asking about the club, what we do, why they should join - and here are a few points:

• There are over 100 club trips each year for all skill levels
• We run a variety of activities in the outdoors
• Most of the required gear is provided free for club members
• We know where the coolest places in Australia are
• It's bloody cheap to join!

The OAC is a volunteer run club, affiliated with, but not exclusive to, the University of Technology. Sydney's only inner-city University. Our mandate is to get students and city dwellers as far from those sky-scrapers as possible. Anyone can join, and if you're keen - we welcome as much help as we can get. This club runs on enthusiasm and good karma alone.

For 2008, the program includes more training for participants and trip leaders alike, more social activities including the now famous Festival of the Canyon & Spring Pubgaine. And the always popular Monday Night Indoor Climbing at the Ledge.

What ever your interests are - make sure you keep your eye on the activities, as trips are posted every day and fill up fast. Get out there!
