Application

Application for membership is open to all, using the form below. Applicants with current Firearm or Shotgun certificates should provide certificate numbers, dates of expiry and cite the issuing police authority. Applicants holding SCC, RCO or RSO certificates should also provide certificate numbers and dates of expiry. Those fields not applicable should be completed with “n/a”.

Two referees are required to propose and to support an application. The proposer must be a current Full member of the Association, and must have been a member for a minimum of two years. The application must be seconded by an Association committee member. If referees are not yet available then state “none” in these fields.

The fees shown include a discount for new applicants. The full annual subscription rates, which fall due at membership renewal on the first of April, are shown under Renewals. Contact the Membership Secretary for confirmation of the appropriate fee before making payment, or for any other enquiries concerning the Application process.

The application form is also available as a pdf. This may be printed, completed and submitted to an Association committee member in hard copy format or emailed to the Membership Secretary. Emailed forms must be accompanied by a recent, passport-style, colour photograph of the applicant. 

By submitting an application, the Applicant is deemed to have accepted the VAA Terms of Membership, the VAA Constitution and GDPR policy, and declared that they are not prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition by virtue of Section 21 of the Firearms Act 1968. The Association will make such enquiries as are deemed necessary, and will contact the Applicant in due course.
