Sir Walter Gun Club, Inc. is a private club with membership limited
to 300 members. To begin the process of becoming a member of SWGC, an
applicant should request a
Membership Application from any Club member, or
download a copy from the SWGC’s web site at
http://www.sirwaltergunclub.com.
The completed membership application must be submitted to the Club
Secretary only after the applicant obtains the sponsorship of two
Club members in good standing, or one member of the SWGC Board of
Directors. The Secretary will present the application to the SWGC
Board of Directors for review and consideration. Upon application
acceptance, an applicant becomes a Prospective Member and must meet
the following requirements:
- Successfully complete a Club Safety Course.
- Attend Club meetings and take an active part in Club
activities.
- Agree to serve on a SWGC committee for the first three years
of his/her Club membership and actively participate in committee
tasks and work assignments.
- Provide proof of eligibility to purchase and own a firearm
in North Carolina.
After successfully completing an evaluation period, the
applicant’s sponsor (s) will recommend the Prospective Member for
full membership to the Board of Directors by endorsing the
Prospective Member Data Sheet and submitting it to the Club
Secretary. The Club Secretary will present all documentation to the
Board of Directors for final review and approval. If approved for
full membership and if a vacancy has occurred, the Prospective Member
must purchase one (1) share of stock in Sir Walter Land Development,
Inc. The stock is presently priced at $660 per share. The new member
is charged an initiation fee of $50.00 and is required to pay annual
dues in advance. For the first year, annual dues are prorated for the
number of months remaining the year. Annual dues are $150.00.
The share of Sir Walter Land
Development, Inc. stock can be returned to the Corporation and
reimbursed at 100% of its value, if a member resigns from the Club as
a member in good standing, provided that all dues and fees have been
paid and there is a new, in-coming member, to take the resigning
member's place.
Membership Application Procedure has specific
details about the application process. Applicants should attend a
membership meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, September
through May, at 7:30 PM at the Kiwanis Center, 2525 Noble Road,
Raleigh, NC. Applicants and their sponsor(s) can also attend the
monthly meeting of the Board of Directors. Consult the Club Calendar
web page for dates, times, locations, and other details.
