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 cannot join a club and 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.
