Attention MUWPC Members!
Melbourne University Sport will deny access to anyone with an expired membership, even if their renewal is being processed. Those who let their membership lapse and still wish to train will have to pay casual rates ($18 PER VISIT!) until their membership renewal shows up on the system. So EVERYONE, please check at reception when your membership expires and make sure the club receives your payment and form 2 WEEKS prior to the expiry date!!!
There are many benefits of being an MUWPC member.
