You can join Yarra Bowmen through the Archery Australia Member Portal.

Current adult membership is $310/year, $150 to the Club, the remainder to AV and AA who cover insurance.

Child and family options are available.

If you are already a financial member of another AA affiliated club, you can join as an associate member. In this case you do not use the AA Asemble portal, instead contact us via our Facebook page or email us at yarrabw@gmail.com or speak to a committee member on Sunday morning during our weekly club shoot.

Before you join, please note:

• All new memberships must be approved by the Club Committee. To this end, please contact us through our Facebook page or email us at yarrabw@gmail.com to enqire about membership.
• You must provide evidence of basic archery instruction, which can include; former AA membership, certificate of completion from an introductory archery course or demonstrate a similar level of experience.
• Shoot with us on a Sunday morning (weekly club shoot), so that you get to know us and the range/surroundings and we get to know you. We must ensure knowledge of basic shooting rules as we have a duty of care to the public, our members and yourself.

Benefits

• Assess to the range during daylight hours, 7 days a week.
• Use all club facilities (including archery specific tools)
• Attend weekly events.
• Actively participate in the club’s future. New ideas and suggestions are always welcome.

Guidelines and exceptions for all members

Registered Club Members and Visitors must sign in on the attendance book in the club room. This is a condition of the club’s insurance policy and participation guidelines. A failure to comply can open the club to liability or void our insurance coverage.

If you are the last club member leaving for the day, ensure that all lights are switched off, all equipment is safely stored in the appropriate storage sections, and all doors are secured and locked prior to your departure.

All club members and participants are required to abide by Archery Victoria’s Code of Conduct and Archery Australia’s Membership Terms and Conditions when they are on the club’s grounds.

The club uses coded padlocks for the security of the clubhouse and target sheds. Financial club members are provided with the code, usually via e-mail. The code must not be passed on to any one under any circumstances.

It is a requirement of our insurance policy that we protect the code from misuse. Members who do not follow this rule may have their membership revoked depending on the decision of the Club Committee.

If you unlock the doors make sure that you “scramble” the lock so that non members cannot read the code of the lock. Remember that you are responsible for the protection of the code.
