There is no additional charge for provisional members upgrading to Full Membership.

Senior members have full voting rights, juniors have no voting rights.

PROVISIONAL MEMBERSHIP

Membership for new or lapsed members (existing members whose membership has not been renewed for 24 months or more).

Provisional members are not permitted to shoot at any open, friendly or Championship event; they can shoot at club shoots under the guidance of a coach or experienced archer.

Provisional members have restricted voting rights. To be upgraded to Full Membership, a provisional member must be deemed competent and be signed off by one of the recognised person/s designated on the membership form and registered as such by the Membership Secretary. No additional fees are incurred.

ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP

This is an ideal membership for anyone who accompanies an archer around a course (shoot guardian, observer etc). Associate members have no voting rights.

Unconfirmed Associate – cannot attend open shoots even as an observer. A member who has not been verified as knowing the rules or the etiquette for attending NFAS open shoots. Everyone admitted on an archery course needs to know and understand safety and the rules.

Confirmed Associate – a member that has been signed off by a current full NFAS member, who has been a member of the NFAS for at least 2 years and confirms that the member applying for Confirmed Associate membership is safe and knows the rules and can attend open shoots.
