MEMBERSHIP INFO

Horseback Ridding in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Dahlonega

Membership is required to attend any of our outings or events unless specifically stated otherwise. We occasionally have social mixers which are open non-members.

Basic Membership/Newsletter Subscriber
There is no cost to become a Basic Member and subscribe to our eNewsletter.

Supporting Membership
These are members who pay annual dues to help support the operation of our club and are the lifeblood of our group ($30 for a one-year membership). As a benefit for supporting our club, these members receive a discounted Group Fee for most events and are able to attend events that are for Supporting Members only such as the Free Advance Screening Movies.

Sustaining Membership
These are members who want to give extra support to the operation of our club above the Supporting Level. In addition to the benefits of the Supporting Level, Sustaining members receive a one-year subscription to Outside (a $10 value), America’s leading active lifestyle magazine. More benefits will be added.

eNewsletters
Our eNewsletters are sent out periodically when there are new events or updates. With us being a volunteer-run club, there is not a particular frequency. The eNewsletter will have additional details for our events along with events not included in the Events section of our website.

Interested in signing up/subscribing to our eNewsletter?
Before making a request to join our group and subscribing to our eNewsletter, please read through the About Us and Participation Guidelines sections of our site. This will let you know more about our club including our basic membership parameters (age, etc.) which are designed for our members to have more in common than just the great outdoors which helps to foster better friendships and to have an interest in similar activity/fitness levels.

Hotlanta Adventures membership is open to legal U.S. residents only.

Couples: If you are joining as a couple, please fill out the form below for each partner using different email addresses. You can make a notation that both are joining in the comments section so we can link the two memberships.

Current/Previous Members/Subscribers: If you are a current member or previously was receiving a newsletter (and was a member in good standing) but your contact info has changed, please select "update current info" from the selection below and provide your membership number if you have it. Creating a "new" entry can cause event payments not to be credited properly or both to be deleted when purging duplicate entries.
