Application for membership is open to all, using the form below. Applicants holding current Firearm or Shotgun certificates should provide certificate numbers, dates of expiry and cite the issuing (FLU) police authority. Applicants holding SCC, RCO or RSO certificates and those with First Aider qualifications should also provide certificate numbers, details of certifying bodies and dates of expiry. Fields which are not applicable may be completed with “n/a”.

Two referees are normally 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 supported (seconded) by an Association committee member. If qualifying referees are not yet available then state “none” in these fields.

Successful applicants will normally be offered a period of probationary membership, during which they will be supervised while in possession of firearms and/or ammunition as directed by the Range Conducting Officer. Applicants may be offered full membership on satisfactory completion of the probationary term.

The fees shown include a discount for new applicants. The full annual subscriptions, which fall due at membership renewal on April 1st, are shown under Renewals. Additional discounts may be applicable under some circumstances.
