Would you enjoy teaching others to hunt safely? If so, we need instructors to keep offering Basic Hunter Education here at the Rod and Gun Club of New Bedford. If you can spare a Saturday or Sunday once or twice each year, contact Dave Hague at k1drhague@gmail.com for more details on how to become a Volunteer Hunter Ed Instructor through the MA Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. Junior Membership Dues Reduced!The Board of Directors has made some changes to the Junior Membership. Beginning in 2022, the Junior Membership annual fee has been reduced to $15 per year and the initiation fee has been waived.
Also, junior members are not required to attend Orientation and are not required to be NRA members. This is an effort to increase our Junior Membership. Please note that when a Junior Member turns 19 years of age, he/she must convert to Annual Adult Membership at which time he/she will be required to pay the initiation fee and attend Orientation. A Junior Member is guaranteed an Annual Adult Membership regardless of our membership cap at the time. If you know of a youngster who is interested in the shooting sports please consider sponsoring them for membership in the club! NRA RenewalsDid You Know?
