Newport Sportsmen Club Membership Guidelines
Membership in the Newport Sportsmen Club, Inc. shall be open to all persons who are interested in the organization and willing to uphold the purposes of the organization. Membership shall be effective when the applicant submits an application for membership; is sponsored and accompanied at a regular meeting by a member in good standing; has no past felony offenses; is approved by the majority of members at a regular monthly meeting and after the initial dues and annual dues are paid.
If an individual submits an application to become a member of the Newport Sportsmen Club but does not have a recommending active member, they will have an opportunity to introduce themselves and tell membership about themselves at the first meeting. If it is still determined that no member knows them, applicant will submit to the Club officers 3 references. Over the course of the next month the officers will reach out to the new applicant’s references. The new applicant will then attend the next monthly meeting and will then be accepted or declined as a member.
