Conditions of Membership
If I am joining as a new member, I will complete the club orientation and realize I will not be presented my membership card or have access to club facilities until I do so. Renewing members do not need to attend a club orientation.
I will abide by the Farmington Fish & Game Club’s constitution, bylaws, policies, and all range rules.
I understand that giving out any of the range combinations or lending my membership card to other persons will result in the termination of my membership.
I understand that I must renew my membership by December 31st of each year, otherwise it will be necessary to rejoin/pay and attend another club orientation.
I understand that my information may be verified by a background check at the club’s discretion.
I understand that any misrepresentation on my part on this application or any failure by me to comply with these conditions of membership will result in termination of my membership without any refund of paid fees.
New Members SHOULD attend a Safety Orientation Class, offered on the first Sunday of each month from 9-11 am inside the Clubhouse. This in-person class is in addition to a MANDATORY Safety Orientation Video required for New and Renewing Members to watch in the membership application process. Failure to acknowledge, follow and abide by Club Rules may cause serious safety concerns and may lead to loss of membership.
