Tamworth Bushwalking & Canoe Club

The Tamworth Bushwalking & Canoe Club (TBCC) is a sporting club located in Tamworth, Australia, that aims to bring people together to enjoy the beauty of the Australian Bush. All the club's office bearers and trip leaders are volunteers who are passionate about promoting the enjoyment and preservation of nature.

The club was formed in 1972 and is one of approximately 70 member clubs of the NSW Confederation of Bushwalking Clubs Inc, which is now known as Bushwalking NSW. TBCC participates in a wide range of activities that cater to all levels of experience and fitness. This includes easy half-day walks suitable for anyone, as well as more challenging day walks. In addition to bushwalking, the club also organises camping trips, canoeing adventures, caving explorations, and orienteering activities.

To become a member of the TBCC, interested individuals can contact Kerry or Chris for more information about joining the club. The club holds its monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of each month, starting at 6:00 PM. These meetings take place at the Croquet Club on Fitzroy Street in Tamworth, and all visitors are welcome to attend.

Membership in the TBCC provides participants with automatic insurance coverage for personal accidents and public risk during official club activities. However, it is important to note that all participants in club activities do so as volunteers and accept responsibility for any injuries they may incur. The club, its office bearers, and leaders cannot accept liability for any injuries or damages that occur during TBCC activities.

To ensure the safety of all participants, the club requires all members to read and sign a risk waiver form before participating in any activity. Failure to do so may result in a participant being unable to join the activity. Additionally, if a leader instructs or directs a participant to do or not do something, and they choose to ignore the instruction, their insurance coverage may be affected in the event of an accident.

The membership fee for the TBCC is $25 for single individuals and $40 for families. This fee helps support the club's activities and ensures that members have access to insurance coverage.
