So shooting is your chosen sport, and you want to get involved? Great! Each SSAA Branch is only as strong as the support that we receive from our members. The first place to start is by attending your local Branch, Get to know the members, attend the meetings. Your local Branch Management Committee are always on the lookout for members that may be able to lend a hand, all help is welcome. Each Branch within  SSAA Queensland is run by volunteers much like you.

As the premier sporting shooters body in Queensland, we are run by members for our members. No matter what skills or great ideas you might have, like to help at working bees or want to get involved with a Committee, your Association needs you. If you are unsure who to talk to, contact us here via the website and we will make sure that your details get to the right person.

HOW DOES MY QUEENSLAND MEMBERSHIP WORK?

As a member of SSAA Queensland, you are a member of the SSAA (Qld.) Inc. To be involved with your local Branch, check to ensure your SSAA Queensland Membership Card is allocated to that Branch.  If it’s not, contact us today on 07 3492 9237.  Allocation to your local Branch allows you to participate as a Branch member with voting rights in that Branch. Your local Branch is your representative within the State Association.

WHERE DOES MY MEMBERSHIP MONEY GO?

One of the frequently asked questions is what the State Association does with the Membership money received from the Members.

SSAA Queensland owns and operates 7 Shooting Complexes throughout the State, expenses to cover utilities and maintenance of the Complexes, including a percentage which goes to your local Branch and also to the production of the monthly Australian Shooter. All financial Members of SSAA Queensland are covered by a public liability protection of up to $20,000,000.

The Association is lucky to have people like you that want to volunteer their time. The vast majority of people that you see working at ranges or as Association Representatives are volunteers.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP.

As with any volunteer-based associations, time and peoplepower is a scarce resource. We need people to help implement new ideas. The best way to affect positive changes that you would like to see, is to get involved. Come along to your local Branch meetings and put your ideas forward. Share your ideas with others and get people talking. If the Branch and other Members see the merit in your ideas, they can come to fruition. We understand that not all people can make it to meetings due to other commitments. If you fall into this category, put your ideas down in an email. Your Branch Management Committee will bring your correspondence up at the next meeting.

THERE IS NO LOCAL BRANCH IN MY AREA AND I WOULD LIKE TO START ONE.

If you and a group of like-minded people would like to form a local Branch, we would love to talk to you. The best place to start is to jot down your ideas along with the names of people that would like to be the founding members of your local Branch. Once you have done this, contact the State Association for further assistance via email enquiry@ssaaqld.org.au .

LIKE TO VOLUNTEER.

Great! It is people like you that make our Branches the social hub for shooters in your area. Each local Branch has working bees from time to time, and we are always on the lookout for volunteer helpers. Contact your local Branch or send an email. We would love to hear from you.
