Join in Four Simple Steps

  1. Step 1: Have your details ready

    Add your partner's details too if you're joining together. You'll need:

    • the name you'd like on your badge
    • your date of birth, for our insurance
    • your former Apex club, if you had one
    • your local group, or Member at Large
    • your choice of clip or magnetic badge
    • the names of your proposer and seconder

    What's a proposer and seconder?

    Two financial members who put your name forward. They just add their names to your form, no signatures needed. Don't know anyone yet? Our Membership Director can help.

  5. Welcome aboard

    Your local group approves your membership, and the National Board endorses it at its next meeting. Then you're part of it all: your group, the Roaring 40s and the Rort.

Find a Group Near You

Our local groups (we call them sub-committees) meet for meals, catch-ups and the odd outing. Most meet each month or so. Visiting? You're welcome to call in, so give the group a ring first.

11 groups in New South Wales

6 groups in Victoria

10 groups in Queensland

2 groups in Tasmania

No local group here yet

You can still join. Tick Member at Large (MAL) on your form, or start a group of your own. Our Membership Director can help with either.

No group nearby? You can still join.

Option 1

Join as a Member at Large

You'll get the Roaring 40s, come to the Rort and join our Facebook group, just without a local group to belong to. Tick Member at Large (MAL) on your form.

Option 2

Start your own group

It's easier than you might think. Once it's running there's little paperwork: you choose when and where to meet, collect the annual fees, send member details to the National Board and bank the money once a year.

Talk to our Membership Director

Groups in SA, WA, NT and ACT would be very welcome.

Common Questions

  • No. Partners, ex-partners, widows and widowers of eligible members can join, as can past members of WOCO and affiliated clubs. Family and friends of members can join as Associate members.

  • Yes. Partners have been full members since Apex 40's very first gathering.

  • No. Emailing your form counts as your signature. Your proposer and seconder only need to add their names.

  • No. We're a social organisation. We're happy to help Apex clubs when asked, but we don't run service projects or fundraise like a service club.

  • Mostly good food and good company. Groups get together each month or so, often for a meal at a local pub or club.

  • Our national get-together, held every year. It runs for almost a week, with outings, dinners and entertainment. There's a short AGM, usually about 40 minutes, and the rest is fellowship.

  • Yes. Join as a Member at Large, or start a group in your area.

  • It's required for insurance purposes.

  • Through the Roaring 40s magazine, published at least three times a year, and our private Facebook group.

  • Get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.
