Membership
The membership year is from April 1st to March 31st.

If your Club is not a member of OAR, you must register as an Independent Member here. Membership cost is $90.
Not ready to join as an Independent Member? Try a one-time tour/long distance event at $35 per tour day on top of the tour fee. Use this Form.
