Joining us
First steps

Contact the secretary for more details if you need to, or just come down to the club and have a chat. You can find the secretary's details on the "contact" page. Sunday is the best day to drop in for a visit.

Please note
Potential new members have to serve a probationary period (details further down).

As a potential new member (PNM), you will be identified by a club probationer badge.
You will have to attend on four seperate occasions on a Sunday (a day when most committee members will be at the club).

You will be tutored and supervised by a committee member until they consider that you are fit to shoot alone on the range. During this probationary period, you will be given instruction about safety rules and gun handling, along with hints and tips about general marksmanship skills. Your visits will be recorded and the information kept in a shooting log. The committee member who supervises you will add comments about your attitude, safety awareness and your general progress. You are free to see this information if you request it.

After four visits, your folder will be reviewed and a decision will then made about whether to accept or deny your full membership to Pontefract Air Rifle Club.

Details of how to get to the club are on the "where we are" page.

What it costs

If you decide to join, annual membership is £65 for a family of four (partners sharing a home as man and wife, and any dependants under 17 still living at home); £55 for individual adult membership; and £20 for junior membership.

If you join between January and June, the full membership fee applies. If you join between July and September, we will only ask you for 50% of the full membership fee. Membership is closed from October through December!

Once you are a member you will be given a code for the gate. This allows you to come down whenever suits you best, any time of the day, 365 days per year!
