Membership

New Members are welcome

Any club needs constantly to gain new members to sustain and improve itself. NLRC is no different and we welcome members from all walks of life. We need the variety of skills and characters. We are filled to the brim by excellent shooters, brilliant wind coaches, outstanding team managers and frankly the knowledge base and eagerness to transfer said knowledge is second to none! We also have a cast of “characters” that add to the social atmosphere and life of the club! We have many members learning to shoot and developing in their sport - the next crop of county and international shooters.

Member Types and Conditions

There are three types of membership; different criteria apply and may confer different rights / access to club facilities.

Full Shooting Members are entitled to participate in all shooting activities of the club and may make use of all the club's facilities including the armoury, lockers and reloading room. These members pay the full annual subscription rate, subject to the concessions below.

Probationary Shooting Members are those who are new (or returning) to the sport and so do not hold a Firearm Certificate and/or have not received training and full membership status from another club. They are entitled to participate in shooting activities of the club (under the appropriate supervision). A probationary period must last at least 3 months and probationary members must shoot regularly in order to qualify for full membership. The club has a highly experienced membership including qualified coaches and international shots to help train probationary members towards full status, so are ready to welcome new shooters. Probationary members only pay 25% of the full subscription and still have the additional rights of access to club facilities of full members.

Associate Members may not take part in any club sporting activities, and are not allowed access to the armoury or reloading room. Associate Members may make full use of all the other clubhouse facilities. This is our social membership category, and is open to non-shooters and to those who shoot with another club, but wish to be members of NLRC for purely social reasons. Associate Members pay 25% of the full subscription. No other concessions below apply to Social Membership.
