Membership Information

The Port Hunter 4x4 Club invites you to discover all the benefits of membership. We welcome you to attend a meeting, tag along on a trip and have a chat with other members.

Membership enquiries can be answered by using the Contact Us form.

Why Join ?

The Club offers an opportunity for people with 4WD vehicles and interests in the outdoors to share their experiences and participate in recreational activities as a group. For the inexperienced this has the added advantage of providing an element of safety and eliminates the risk of being stuck in an isolated part of the bush by yourself.

Club members can obtain good discounts on products and services from many local sponsors.

As a member of the NSW & ACT 4WD, Port Hunter 4x4 Club is active in trying to prevent 4WD roads and tracks from being closed to responsible users.

Becoming a Port Hunter 4x4 Club Member

The process of becoming a member of Port Hunter 4x4 Club has been designed to help potential members make an easy and unbiased decision in becoming a member.

4wd clubs are the perfect environment to explore and learn. There are lots of clubs in the Hunter and Lake Macquarie region and if Port Hunter doesn't offer what you are looking for try the Associations website at http://www.4wdnsw-act.asn.au/club_search.php to find one that suits.

It is your choice as to when you sign up for membership within the said guidelines. You will then need to approach 2 members of Port Hunter 4x4 Club to represent you for full Club membership.
