Hello,
Thank you for showing interest in a Beaverbrook membership. For 2024 our method of handling new members will be the same as last year. We have reached our membership cap for General members. So, we will not know the number of open positions available until the first of February. For those interested in joining our club we have developed a method that will be as fair as possible for selecting new members. Below is the method we will use to select new members for 2024, but please read the paragraphs below as they will prevent some confusion in the application process.
Let us tell you a few things about our club.
Who We Are
We are a private sportsmen's club organized to serve our members. That said we are also interested in promoting the shooting sports and to that end we do allow outside groups to use our facilities. Some of the groups that that use our club include the Boy Scouts, 4H, Pheasants Forever, High School Trap Teams, several DNR Firearms Safety Instructor groups, Twin Cities Action Shooters, Metro Area Practical Shooting Association and the Twin Cities Muzzleloaders. We have also welcomed the Minnesota DNR Conservation Officers, the Anoka County Sheriff, Blaine and Spring Lake Park Police Departments and other law enforcement agencies -- to do training at our club. So, you can see we are dedicated to serving the community as well.
Our Facilities
We currently have nine trap fields equipped with Pat-Traps and voice callers, one skeet field. For rifle and pistol we have two 100-yard ten position and a 200-yard eight position range all with covered benches, also six multi-purpose shooting bays -- two 100’ wide by 60-yards deep, and four 50’ wide by 40-yards deep. We also have an archery range with six butts set at varying distances.
In addition to the ranges we have a clubhouse with a kitchen staffed during trap leagues. A covered pavilion near the trap fields for socializing and getting out of the sun or rain. And by the other ranges we have a heated building for members to use year around.
Membership
Now for some information about membership. Our "General" membership is for individuals eighteen (18) years old and older. This membership also grants a member’s spouse, children, siblings, and grandchildren (under 21 years) almost all the privileges of regular members. The differences being they do not have a vote and are not allowed to use the facilities without a regular member accompanying them. They do receive the member discounts on trap and range use. The membership year runs from January 1st through December 31st. The current annual dues are $240.00 per year due on January 1st and for General members who volunteer ten (10) hours of work we offer a $120.00 discount on their renewal. We also have available a class of membership for the spouse of a current member who wishes to have independent access to the club. This "Extended Spousal" membership will add a member access card, but still no vote or any option for a work credit. The yearly dues for this membership is one-half the regular member dues, $120.00.
For new General members there is a one-time non-refundable processing fee of $100.00. There is no processing fee for the Extended Spousal membership.
Sorry but we take new-member applications from December through January 31st so, we are closed for this year. Check back next December when we will start the new member selection process again.
