Bearsden & District
Rifle and Pistol Club

Potential members who do not know any of the members should approach the Secretary (best by e’mail) who will supply the necessary details.    An initial visit allows the formalities to be carried out and for the visitor to see some of the Club’s activities.

Training in safe handling of firearms and the basics of accurate shooting are then taught over the next 6 visits.     With this successfully completed the entrant can continue shooting and the application is reviewed by the Club Council at the next quarterly meeting.    The Council if satisfied, will then grant Probationary Member status.   The Probationary period is normally six months and following a further review leads to Full Membership.  

This process is formal partly due to statute and partly for the Club to be confident of the member’s competance and responsible attitude to shooting sports.
