Hamilton Angling and Hunting Association is a private members club.  New members must be sponsored by an existing club member in good standing.  There are no exceptions to this rule.

If you are an existing club member and wish to sponsor a new member, please see and follow these requirements and directions.

1.   A sponsor must be a member in good standing for at least 12 months at the time of application.
2.   You may ONLY sponsor one new member per year.  Exceptions may be made under special circumstances by the membership committee.
3.   There will be four different orientation dates announced prior to our membership intake starting.  Both the new member and sponsor must attend one of these dates.
4.   For a period of 12 months, it is expected the sponsor will continue to monitor and mentor their candidate in all aspects of accepted club        practices and conduct.
5.   All members must maintain and monitor an active email address. This is essential as email is the primary method H.A.H.A. uses to communicate with members.
6.   Should a new member become problematic within their first year, the sponsor will lose their privilege to sponsor new members in the            future. 
7.   Sponsors are responsible for the new members actions during the first year.
8.   Applications for new members will only be accepted from September 1 to  December 1, 2026 
9.   Once all the applications have been received a candidate list will be created and reviewed by the Membership Committee.  A   consensus-    based approach will be used to select candidates based on “obvious merit” of either the candidate or the sponsor.  Examples of obvious        merit for sponsors would be regular volunteer activity services provided to the club.  A candidate's obvious merit may include skills and/or    associations which could be of benefit to the club.   Any remaining candidates shall be selected by random draw if there aren't enough vacancies to accommodate everyone.   Membership levels/limits are set by the Board of Directors. 
10.   At all times the Membership Committee and the Board of Directors, at their sole discretion, reserves the right to deny membership to any candidate for any reason,            without explanation.
