ANDOVER SPORTSMEN'S CLUB OBJECTIVES

Since our inception in 1934, our founders had a vision of promoting and sharing a love of nature, the great outdoors, and shooting sports. We are dedicated and committed to continue and expand their ideals and traditions into the future for ourselves and our children. We strive to maintain a healthy, cooperative relationship with Andover and neighboring communities, and provide our members and their families a safe, friendly place to gather and enjoy their shooting sports, be it archery, rifle, pistol or trap. We promote and teach the safe use of all firearms, and other outdoor related pursuits. We are ardent advocates for the conservation and preservation of all our natural resources. In these times of ever decreasing space for sports minded men and women, Andover Sportsmen's Club is a beacon of success that proves these endeavors can and should endure for future generations. Andover Sportsmen's Club is a non-sectarian, non-political and a non-profit organization, and all USA citizens are eligible and welcome to apply.

Please feel free to contact me any time in regard to joining our club. I will be happy to guide you through our membership procedures and expand on the benefits of one of the best sporting clubs in the state.

As you can see in reviewing our web site, we offer just about something for everybody, with the added bonus of a friendly, helpful group of members more than willing to help in your area of interest, be it archery, trap, pistol, or rifle, we have it all. We offer and sponsor various youth programs, and are proud of our community involvement. Contact me for an application, brochure, and further information, or download membership application here:

A majority vote of the membership present is required for election to membership. 

Our year runs from January 1 to December 31. In April 2007, the membership voted to accelerate the deadline for payment of dues to December 31st., which means that your 2010 dues, which will be invoiced in September, must be received on or before December 31, 2009. Otherwise you will be deemed delinquent for nonpayment of dues and shall be dropped from the membership in the Club. You will not be permitted to access the club property and your card key will be deactivated. You will be assessed a $25 late fee for payments received up to 30 days after December 31st. Upon payment of your dues and late fee, if applicable, your membership will be noted as being paid up for 2010 and your card key will be reactivated. A member, after being dropped from membership and who fails to be reinstated as provided for herein, may be readmitted to membership as a new member upon payment of the regular entrance fee and the then current dues. Upon application to the Board of Directors, a member with special financial circumstances can be granted an extension of time by the Board of Directors, to pay the annual dues with or without any late fee.
