ANNUAL FEE STRUCTURE

In terms of SAPF’s Constitution, membership renewal fees in respect of both members and Provincial affiliation are payable from 1 January of each year and due by 28 February of the same year.

The duration of membership is from 1 January to 31 December of a year, in terms of the Constitution to coincide with SAPF’s Financial Year.

 New members and existing members who wish to renew their affiliation, are requested to take note of the Central Firearm Registry (CFR) requirement that all members must be affiliated to the shooting structure, ie: affiliated to a Club, which is affiliated to the Province, which in turn is affiliated to SAPF.  SAPF is affiliated to the SA Shooting Sport Confederation (SASSCo), which is affiliated to the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF).  All events are presented in terms of ISSF and NPA/NRA/PPC rules and regulations.

Provinces are reminded that with effect from 1 January 2014, all members must be fully affiliated and Club membership will fall away as agreed at the 2014 Annual Council Meeting.

 All affiliation fees must be paid to the member’s Club.  A List of Membership Form should be completed by the Club, and forwarded to the respective Province, together with the required affiliation fee and substantiating Personal Details form and additional documents where required, for onward transmission to SAPF. The Booklet Forms will however still be accepted by SAPF .  Please indicate on your List of Membership Forms against the member’s name, which members’ Club laminated cards are enclosed for REPLACEMENT, preferably in RED.

 Members who retained their laminated Club membership cards, when previously upgrading to full membership, and vice versa, thus being in possession of 2 laminated affiliation cards, should return the Club level affiliation card for cancellation without delay.  Please indicate on your 2014 List of Membership Forms against the member’s name, which members’ Club laminated cards are enclosed for CANCELLATION, preferably in RED. 

All new Personal Details Form must be DULY completed by ALL members at the beginning of every year.  An electronic version was distributed to all Provinces under cover of Circular 32/2009, for ease of distribution to distant members and Clubs.  Kindly note that handwritten Personal Details forms will be accepted by the SAPF Office, as in the past, members are however requested to PLEASE PRINT CLEARLY.  Each member’s documentation should be stapled together and the names of new members lightly printed on the reverse of photos (without damaging the photos), to save time and possible errors.

Proof of payment should be attached to the respective List of Membership Form, to which hard copies of the Personal Details Forms are attached when submitted to the SAPF Office.  Personal Details Forms must not be emailed to the SAPF Office, due to the volume of emails received daily.

The List of Membership Form is SAPF’s proof that that the member is affiliated to the shooting structure. 

Kindly complete the deposit reference (eg. GN Affiliations 2026), in cases where direct deposits are made into the SAPF Bank account, and email a copy of the proof of payment to the SAPF Office.  Please ensure that a summary of the various types of Membership  indicating the respective amounts deposited, are enclosed which should balance with the total amount of the deposit.
