Membership Procedure


Application for membership in the Weston Field Club is initiated by the Sponsor. The Sponsor will be a member in good standing and personally known to the applicant and the applicants family. The Cosponsor will also be a member in good standing and personally known to the applicant and the applicants family prior to membership. Sponsor and Cosponsor must provide letters outlining the length of time you have known applicant, the nature of your acquaintance (business or social), how well you know the spouse and children, activities you feel the applicant and the applicants family will be an asset to the Club. You are encouraged to include any other pertinent information you feel will be helpful in evaluating the applicant, such as references to personal integrity or financial responsibility.

Sponsor and Cosponsor will also assist the applicant in obtaining one (1) other letters from members who have known the applicant long enough so as to be able to make a recommendation for membership. These letters should follow the content format outlined above. Sponsors must have been members of the Club for at least six (6) months. Sponsor is responsible for the transmittal of the completed application, letters of recommendation and any additional explanatory details which the Membership Committee and Board of Governors may reasonably request. The sponsor is responsible for instruction the applicant about initiation fees, annual dues, general membership rules and regulations. The application, the filing fee ($500.00 + $50.00 tax), and all required letters are to be collected by the sponsor before being sent to the office. When the applicant is accepted the sponsor should make introductions to key personnel of the Club and assist in the orientation as to the usage and to the enjoyment of the Club. The sponsor is responsible during the initial year of the new member for alertness toward sportsmanship, conduct (rule compliance), financial obligation and other matters to which the sponsor endorsed originally. The Board of Governors will consider it a serious breach of responsibility on the part of the sponsor if letters of recommendation are written by members to whom the applicant is not personally known.

Members are limited to sponsoring two (2) applicants per calendar year and Cosponsoring two (2) applicants per calendar year.

Applicants applying for Trap, Paddle or Winter Membership are only required to submit 2 letters. One (1) from Sponsor and one (1) from Cosponsor. Applicants applying for Trap, Paddle or Winter Membership will not be eligible for Regular Membership.
