Membership (Subscriptions) and Facilities Fees

(1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026)

The cost of belonging to the club is split between two categories of fees; subscriptions and facilities fees. Subscriptions are set a year in advance at each AGM (usually held in August or September each year). Facilities fees are set by the Club Committee in June for the coming financial year.

For new members, subscriptions and facilities fees are discounted on a monthly pro-rata basis at the start of every month. Pistol NZ affiliation fees are discounted by 50% as from 1st January through to 30th June (the second half of the financial year).

SUBSCRIPTIONS

Subscriptions are primarily used to support the Club's operations. Fixed charges, such as power, water, rates, insurance, electricity, administration supplies, software maintenance, and minor maintenance, are covered from the subscription income.

Under the RRGC constitution, members set subscriptions at the Annual General Meeting held the previous year (around September in most years). For the 2025/2026 financial year, these are:

Junior members(under 18)                       $    free

Intermediate members (18-20)                $   50.00

Full member  (21-64)                                  $100.00

Senior member  (65+)                                $100.00

Spouse member                                          $  50.00

As set at the AGM held in 2025, the base subscription fee starting on 1st July 2026 will increase to $120.

FACILITIES FEE

Facilities fees are set by the Club Committee and reviewed annually. This ensures sufficient funds are available to meet the high expenditures required to maintain the Club's ranges and facilities. A significant portion of this budget is dedicated to ensuring range safety and certification of compliance with FSA requirements.
