1. Initial Contact:
o Reach out to the JSS membership officer at membership@jarrahdaleshooters.org.au to request information on new membership.
o Provide your contact details and explain your past experience with firearms, clubs you’ve participated in, and the type of firearms you wish to shoot. This helps the membership officer understand the support you’ll need.
2. Support and Range Visit:
o Once we assess the support needed for the discipline you are interested in, we will provide the necessary information.
o We will arrange a time for you to visit the range when the discipline is hosting new membership applicants. As a private range, pre-approval is mandatory before attending.
3. Initial Visit – No Shooting:
o At the initial visit, please note you will not be shooting as you are not yet a financial member of JSS.
o This visit is primarily for introductions, a safety briefing, and a tour of the range where we will explain the formats we use for competitions in different disciplines.
4. Further Attendance and Requirements:
o During the initial visit, you will be informed of the next steps, including the procedures for attending again.
o You will also learn about the necessary requirements before submitting a membership application, which includes obtaining a recent Police Clearance.
5. Membership Application Process:
o The membership application, along with your Police Clearance and logged visits, will be presented by the relevant discipline captain at the next monthly committee meeting.
o You must be a financial member of SSAA at the time of application.
6. Membership Fees and Invoice:
o If your application is approved, the membership officer will issue an invoice.
o The invoice will cover the JSS nomination fee, membership fees, and the discipline fees you have selected.
7. Probation Period:
o As a new member, you will need to attend and participate in a required number of hosted competitions during your 6-month probation period.
o After this period, the committee will assess your attendance to decide whether to lift your probation and fully accept you as a JSS member.
8. Ongoing Membership and Competition Requirement:
o As part of a closed competition-based SSAA club, you will be required to attend and compete in a specified number of shoots to maintain your membership status.
