The 2024 membership badges are bright orange, the wearable proof of membership. Please wear them at all times while on club grounds and indoor building and of course the indoor range.
Membership at 910, with 35 juniors on record total including juniors 945 with adjusting for 2023 drops.
Time has now run out for renewing, however some exceptions of physical illness or special circumstances.
Another key note that bears repeating:
Due to issues with some members violating the family membership (dependent children) policy; ages 18- 22 enrolled as Fulltime college students NOTE: BVFG has dissolved this option. This change is in effect staring with 2023 calendar year and in effect for renewing in 2023. All renewal forms will be requesting information on dependent in household children. 18 and over should move to an adult membership. If 18 or older, kids are no longer eligible dependents under family, but can transition to adult membership fairly easily. If they miss doing at 18, then 19 and older must reapply as a new member.
