Application Process

Interested in Joining?

We are currently accepting applications for membership and are able to welcome new members.

If you wish to apply please email membership@wdrpc.co.uk giving your full name and address.

We will then send you an application pack. The application form, together with 3 passport-sized photographs and any information you feel is relevant, should be returned to:

The Membership Team

Warrington & District Rifle & Pistol Club

The Old Piggeries

Hough’s lane

Warrington

WA4 5LL

Please ensure correct postage has been applied and do not use registered or special delivery as no signatures can be given.

You must ensure you read all documents in the application pack as all Home Office Approved Clubs require you to sign a declaration that you have never been refused or had revoked a Shotgun or Firearm Certificate and are not a “Prohibited Person” within the meaning of the 1968 Firearms Act Section 21. This declaration is part of our application form.

Upon receipt of your application form, you will be contacted to confirm receipt and the next steps.
You will be required to complete an induction session which will include a safety briefing and supervised range session using .22 rifles.

Your induction will cost you £40 which includes a 3-month probationary membership.
Subsequent visits will cost you the range fee (£2) plus the cost of any ammunition you use.

If you wish to become a full member on completion of your probation you must demonstrate safe, competent use of firearms and a genuine interest in shooting. We have to be satisfied that you are a fit person to use a firearm and that you have a genuine interest in target shooting. You must complete a minimum of 6 visits during your probationary period and your request for full membership must be considered and approved by the Directors.
On upgrading to full membership you will pay the remaining+ portion of the year’s full membership fee.

Please be aware we often have a waiting list for applicants to attend induction and it may be several months before we can offer you a date. Inductions are usually held once a month on a Saturday morning.
