When you want to become a member of Hipac, you can choose from four different memberships:
- Full year active membership
- Half year active membership
- Full year supporter membership
- Half year supporter membership
A full year membership is a full academic year valid, so from September 1st till August 31st. We know that students tend to go away on minors, internships and theses during the year. Therefore we have also a half year membership. This half year membership is valid from September 1st till January 31st or from February 1st till August 31st.
When choosing for an active membership, you get a discount on the riding lessons and the activities. For this membership you need to have sports rights.
We also have a supporter membership. This membership is a reduced form. Here you get a discount on the activities, but not on the riding lessons. For this membership you don’t have to own sports rights.
When do you become an active member and when a supporter? Well, of course it is your own choice. Our experience is that students and PhD’s from the university and students from Aeres with sports rights choose for the active membership.
Members with a supporter membership are generally people who have their own riding opportunities, WUR and Aeres students who do not have sports rights and ex-students who like to join a group in rides.
For the costs see the schedule below.
Sports rights
To be able to participate in any sports activity organized via the university sports centre you, the student, need sports rights. These rights can be purchased at the desk in Sports Centre de Bongerd (SCB). Some students are here for multiple years, some for one or a half year, and some students are here only for a few months. For all these situations the SCB has appropriate solutions. You can purchase sports rights for a full, half or a quarter year or per month. For the costs see the schedule below.
Registration
If you are interested in Hipac you can send a mail to hipac@wur.nl or fill in the form under ‘contact’. We will arrange a try-out lesson (for a small fee) to experience the stable and the lessons. If you like this and you wish to become a member, we will walk you through the subscription. We ask you about your experience level. This is purely to ensure your own safety and to maximize your pleasure in riding. Then we will also know whether you can start in the group lessons. We will also ask for emergency contacts. We do this because, like every sport, you can get injured. This way we can always contact somebody.
