General Information
To meet Home Office Guidance, new Firearms Certificate applicants must have been a member of a Home Office approved club for a minimum of 3 months and be “sponsored” by a Full member of that club. We therefore enclose a “Prospective” member application form for you to complete and return to us if you are interested in undertaking our training course and applying for your firearms certificate. Please note that we are obligated to notify Cambridgeshire Firearms Department of any applications for membership of our Rifle Range Club. The Firearms Department may contact us if they intend to reject a membership application. We shall notify the Prospective Member if this occurs, although the Firearms Department will not explain the reasons for rejection to us. Should you wish to query this, you would need to liaise directly with the Firearms Department.
Booking
We shall be running the Modules over the coming months on various Saturday’s and Sunday’s and a list of dates shall be published shortly. Once we receive your “Prospective Membership” application form, we shall contact you to book dates which are convenient for you.
Please note that you must “pass” Module 1 and Module 2 before moving on to Module 3. Once you have completed and passed Module 3, you can then complete the final day (Module 4 & Module 5). Please also note that the instructor will assess you on each Module before clearing you to commence the next one. Should the instructor not pass you off on a particular Module as competent, they may request you re-take the Module, but will explain why. Should you be required to re-take a Module, this will incur an additional charge of £95 for that Module.
Membership
On successful application as a Prospective Member, and on the start of the Training Course (Module 1), we shall enrol you as a “Probationary Member”. Probationary Membership for people attending the training course will be charged at £50.00 for 6 months. As a Probationary Member, you shall be able to use the Range in between training module days, but only when accompanied by another Full member of CGCRR, GCRR RCO or Instructor, and only on a one to one basis. Please liaise directly with the Full member or RCO to arrange lane date & time and also pre-book your lane on the Range. As a Probationary Member undertaking the Training Course, we have discounted the Probationary Membership annual fee. We shall also discount our lane fees from £20/hour to £10/hour during your Probationary Period. Ammunition used shall be charged on the day.
On satisfactory completion of the training course and successful application for a firearms certificate; Probationary Members should then apply to become a “Full” member of CGCRR. As a full member, you will not require supervision on the Range. The annual membership fee allows you to use the range whenever it is open, and there are no lane fees once you are a “Full” member. It is however, recommended that you continue to book your lane on the range to ensure availability. Please remember, to maintain your Firearms Certificate, you must be attending approved Rifle Club’s. Clubs are required to notify the Firearms Department of any member not attending in a 12 month period.
Full membership is charged at £300 per year and runs for a 12 month period from the date of joining. A membership card shall be issued on successful application as a Full member.
