Provisional Membership

Once your membership is validated, you become a Provisional Member and your name will be listed on the provisional membership list.

At the next General Club Meeting following two-months membership, your name will be put forward to the meeting for acceptance as a full member. Provisional Members are encouraged to attend this Club Meeting.

In the event of an application being rejected, the provisional member will be invited to attend the next General Meeting for the reconsideration of membership. If after that procedure the provisional member is not confirmed, the provisional member shall cease to be a member of the Club and all membership fees shall be forfeited.

One of our conditions of new membership is that you must have either previously completed a Beginners Course with us or another Archery Australia registered Club, unless you are transferring from an existing archery club.
