NLRC Crest - New (White On Blue)

Membership

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.  Our membership is bursting with excellent shooters, brilliant wind coaches, outstanding team managers and our knowledge base and eagerness to transfer this knowledge is second to none!  We have many members learning to shoot and developing in their sport – aspiring to become the next crop of county and international shooters. 

Members' Section

The club’s interconnected membership database and till system allows you to update your contact details, view your club card account and securely contact other members online.

Membership Types

Full

Full Shooting Members are eligible to participate in all shooting activities of the club and 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 any concessions, set out below.  This category includes Honorary Members.

Probationary

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 eligible to participate in shooting activities of the club (under the appropriate supervision).  

Probation 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 we are ready to welcome new shooters.  Probationary members only pay 25% of the full subscription and still have the same access to club facilities as full members.

Associate

Associate Membership is our social membership category which is for non-shooters or to those who shoot with another club but wish to be members of NLRC for purely social reasons.  Associate Members are not eligible to take part in any club sporting activities, or to have access to the Armoury and Reloading Room, but they may make full use of all the other clubhouse facilities.

Associate Members pay 25% of the full subscription.  No concessions apply to Social Membership
