NOTES

ID cards must be on display when purchasing ammunition or using club rifles, they must also be produced upon request by any club member, failure to do so will result in being escorted from site. Repeated failure to produce will result in a review of the membership status.The membership year is January 1st to December 31st, the cost of the following years membership is agreed at the AGM which is held in December and must be paid in full by March 1st or membership will be terminated and the Police informed.

Re-joining at a later date requires a fully completed application together with a current photograph a letter explaining the reasons why renewal was not completed in the required period and full payment (no discount is available to ex members). The application will then be reviewed by the full committee, approval will depend on your attitude towards firearms and safety, the frequency of your attendance at the club, the frequency of your participation in competitions and a satisfactory explanation as to why renewal was not completed in the required period. If your membership is accepted the Police will be informed of this decision. Please note that if you are not currently a club member access to the site without permission from and being escorted at all times by a committee member or range officer.

Members who have family members under the age of 18, who also wish to become members are able to do so as long as they are of a physical size to enable them to shoot safely and are supervised at ALL times by a responsible person over the age of 21. Persons completing supervisory duties are not allowed to shoot. We have a club ruling that use of the smallbore range is restricted to persons over the age of 14.

To become a full member of the smallbore section, all members must have demonstrated a full understanding of range rules and safety by successfully completing the NSRA Range Conducting Officers course. Upon approval they automatically become available for selection as range officers and will be allocated dates during the year where they must provide range officer cover for the site. If they are not able to attend on the allocated day it is their responsibility to arrange for another full member to cover for them. Failure to provide cover on two or more occasions will result in a vote being taken to decide if continued club membership is desirable.
