If you elect to join as a casual you will join the ‘Casuals ACT’ group. Casual membership is free and will enable you to pre-enter events through eventor. However, casual members do not receive any of the member benefits listed above. Casual members do not receive discounted entry fees and cannot register for event series season passes.
