Legislation requires that people intending to join the Club need to complete a Safety Course run by instructors at Eastern Amateur. The course covers Firearms Safety, theory and practical aspects of handling firearms related to Pistol Shooting . Courses are run over a 10 week period on Sunday mornings or on a mutually agreed time with the instructors. Once accepted for probationary membership to the Club new members will need to apply at their local police station to obtain clearance from the Registrar of Firearms prior to commencing any training. When the Safety Awareness Course is completed satisfactorily the Club will notify the police for issue of the appropriate Firearms Licence. There is then a waiting period before any firearms may be acquired. Members have access to further coaching within the Club and from affiliated groups for beginning and advanced competitive pistol shooting.
