Membership
Southern Cross Alpine Lodge, an incorporated Non-Profit Company which does not have share capital, introduced a membership scheme in the 1980s. Approved applicants may become company members and then pay a small annual company membership fee ($75 for 2011). Members are not entitled to any return if the company were ever wound up – any proceeds would be reinvested in a similar venture.
Company members are encouraged to be actively involved in the ministry of Southern Cross and are eligible to stand for the Board of Directors – 4 directors are elected by members and 3 are appointed by Sydney Anglican Youthworks.
Southern Cross company members are eligible to join the Southern Cross Preferential Booking System (PBS) by paying a one-off lump sum fee to purchase PBS participations in terms of the PBS Rules. These PBS participations are purchased from existing PBS participants who wish to sell.
Southern Cross PBS participants receive Preferential Booking Priority and PBS member accommodation rates subject to the PBS rules and Directors' Policy.
If you would like to know more details about Southern Cross membership, then please read the following Membership Information Pack documents, remembering that these need to be read in conjunction with each other to get a whole picture of who we are and also of the legal details of our Company Membership and of our Preferential Booking System (PBS) and rules. Note that most of these documents have not yet been updated to reflect our recent name change from Southern Cross Ski Chalet. To read these documents you may need to

If, having read the above, you are interested in pursuing membership and in supporting the ministry of Southern Cross, then please complete an Application Form and forward together with a written reference from your minister. You don't pay anything immediately. Once your application is approved by our directors, we can put you in touch with a short list of members who wish to sell their PBS participations so you can negotiate on purchase price.
