Activities
The MNS Selangor Branch and our Special Interest Groups (SIGs) run activities for members, and sometimes we open the doors to the public too. Everyone is welcome, subject to each activity's terms and conditions (such as age restrictions, physical fitness requirements, and other guidelines). We want everyone to be safe and have a great time.

1. Go to member.mns.my
2. Sign in with your MNS-registered email. Not a member? You can still create an account with your own email.
3. Book and pay. For most activities, upload your payment slip directly in the portal. Sometimes the notice will direct you to a SIG site, external link (like Google Form), or the organiser instead.
Joining an Activity
- Free or Fee?
Activities may be free, require a refundable deposit, or need full prepayment. This cuts no-shows and keeps spots for those who come. - Eligibility
Check restrictions carefully before signing up. Some SIGs may shortlist – registration isn't a guarantee. Questions? Contact the organiser via the activity notice or MNS Members' Portal. - Pre-payment
Payments are generally non-refundable. Confirm you meet all requirements before paying. If you can't attend and can't find a replacement, your payment becomes a donation – thank you for your support.
- Limited Spots
Spaces go fast. Don't wait too long. Tip: Activity notices often hit SIG chat groups first.
- Registration
You must agree to our PDPA, waiver of liability, and child protection policy. Register via the MNS Members' Portal or the method stated in the notice (e.g., website, Google Form, Telegram, or directly with the organiser).
- A few activities are open to everyone, usually at a slightly higher rate or flat fee.
- Love what you see and want to join members-only activities? Come and join us as a member today.
After Registration
- Selection
For trips where participants are shortlisted, the organiser will inform you whether you have been selected.
- Briefing
Some activities just need you to show up. For others, you'll be added to a WhatsApp or Telegram group for updates and key details. An info pack may be sent (meeting point, what to bring, etc.). If a contact number is given, please text – organisers are volunteers and can't always take calls.
- Can't make it?
Let the organiser know ASAP via the group or the contact in the activity notice. This helps with food, guides, and planning. Late cancellations or no-shows waste resources and inconvenience others.
- Insurance
Generally not provided, except in special cases, usually for MNS members aged 7–65. Arrange your own if needed. - Cancelling a booking?
Please contact the activity organiser via the MNS Members' Portal, or the contact details listed on the activity notice.
- You may be asked for feedback or photos for a members' report – a tradition since the early days of the society.
