HOW DO
I GIVE IT A TRY?
We have gear we can loan new recruits while they
are “trying out” this new experience. For your first event, you can
bring a very small amount of equipment and be able to get started.
We will loan you a rifle, all supporting gear,
known as “leathers,” a suitable uniform, and even a tent to sleep in.
To your first event, you will need to bring the
following:
·
Food and water for your own use
·
The plainest brown or black leather shoes you own
·
Sleeping gear: sleeping bag, pillow, blankets
·
Warm undergarments for the cool evening to wear under your uniform
·
Your checkbook to pay the WCWA dues for the current year
·
A good attitude!
Additional details: In order for insurance to
cover you, you must be members of our parent club, WCWA. Cost is very reasonable:
$25/individual or $40/family membership.
ALSO, you will need to complete a safety test. This takes about 30 minutes to complete.
In addition, our 15th Alabama
club dues are very reasonable: $10/year per family due upon joining. We also
have a powder dues fee of $50/year or $15/event. This covers black powder and
caps that you use throughout the season.
HOW DO
I JOIN?
New members are “sponsored” by a current
member, or the Recruiting Officer of the club. You will be asked to complete
a Registration form and pay $10/unit dues in order to initiate membership.
