New Members

As a private club, the Hamilton Angling and Hunting Association requires all new applicants to be sponsored by an existing member in good standing. Please note that the sponsor is responsible for submitting the membership application. There are no exceptions to this requirement.

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

A sponsor must be a member in good standing for at least 12 months at the time of application.
You may ONLY sponsor one new member per year. Exceptions may be made under special circumstances by the membership committee.
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.
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.
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.
Should a new member become problematic within their first year, the sponsor will lose their privilege to sponsor new members in the future.
Sponsors are responsible for the new members actions during the first year.
Applications for new members will only be accepted from September 1 to December 1, 2026
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 and limits are set by the Board of Directors.
At all times the Membership Committee and the Board of Directors, at their sole discretion, reserve the right to deny membership to any candidate without explanation.
