    their arrival at the club

As a probationary member from the date of the safety course and upon achieving a passing grade the ‘candidate’ will have (1) one year to completed his or her probationary requirements as outlined in the course and to pay for their membership upon acceptance by the BOD.

If the probationary/candidate from the date of the safety course has not shot within that six-month period during said probation the candidate will be required to retake the safety course at half of the original cost.

Failing to do so in the above outline time frame will result in denial of the candidate’s membership and the ’candidate’ would be required to retake the safety course again at his or her own expense.

 
Your membership dues are payable at the completion of your probationary period and your acceptance into the club. Unfortunately we cannot accord your club privileges until this is paid.
