If your membership expires, you will need to enrol again. You can pay for an Activity once you have received the Activity Reference Number from the Activity Leader from this page.

Once you are in the website, you can start to search for Activities that interest you. Watch this section for upcoming Activities. They will automatically be uploaded to the Home page as their date approaches. Watch this “Latest News” section for important news about kcwc and upcoming Activities.

If you want to see what’s going on in a particular day, click on the day and a drop-down box with all the items will appear. If you are interested in an Activity, click the little blue arrows and you will be brought to the page about that Activity.

When you get to that page, you will find out all of the information about the Activity, including when, where, the cost, who to contact. etc., and a brief description of the Activity.

When the names appear, go to the Activity you want and click on it. The days when that Activity is taking place will appear on the page that opens.
