Membership reapplication forms will soon be sent out to all members who paid for membership in 2025.  Your forms are a bit different to how they have been in the past, and there are a few things to look for.

1. Make sure your member details are correct and most important your licence info is up to date. If it is wrong, any PTAs you apply for will not go through.
2. Fees and working bees have been streamlined. Your fees are now just standard amount that includes club maintenance and they don’t have the levy added. If you did a working bee in the last year your fees are reduced by $50 for each, up to a total of 4. This also applies to all members, except paid life members. Have a good read of your reapplication form for the full details.
3. Working bees done since August will not appear on your form, so if you have done them between August and October 31st notify staff and we will check the book, and update you.
4. You can now pay by direct debit. On your form there is the BSB and ACC details. If you pay in this way you must include your full name and member number in the description and email proof of payment with your signed reapplication form to info@bpc.com.au You will still need to have your blue book signed and pick up your member card in person at the club.

If you have questions about your form, or you don’t have a working bee. Don’t panic. Just ask the staff to help you out. This is a new system and there are bound to be a few hiccups. We just ask that you remain patient with the staff as we continue to work to improve your member experience.

The Police and Service Pistol Championships will be held at BPC this year, commencing on the 19th of September and running to the 21st.

We look forward to welcoming all the participants and hope they have a great time on the range. The ranges will be partially closed for regular use during the games, but there will still be some dedicated to members. Members are also welcome to come along and spectate the event, we just ask that you listen to instructions and stay out of any marshalling areas. We expect a large number of participants so in the run up to the event we are putting out the request for working bees. There is plenty to do and we want the range looking it’s sparking best for the games. We will also need helpers on the day in the kitchen. Remember if you help out to write your name in the working bee book for a $50 discount on your membership.

Good luck to all the participants and good shooting!
