Join the NNTC

How to join the NNTC
We welcome people who are interested in furthering the objectives of the Norwich and Norfolk Terrier Club and abiding by our code of ethics. As a benefit of membership, in addition to participating in NNTC events, one receives the The Norwich & Norfolk News.

Requirements
To become a member of the NNTC, a person must presently own or have owned a Norwich or Norfolk Terrier (or whose immediate family members own or have owned a Norwich or Norfolk Terrier and are members of the NNTC). In addition,

• an applicant must agree to abide by the code of ethics of the NNTC,

• an applicant must be sponsored by two members of the NNTC in good standing from separate households,

• an applicant must fill out a membership application, and

• pay a $15.00 non-refundable processing fee.

Types of membership
Regular member: Individuals 18 years and older.
Dual member: Any two adults residing at the same address. Dual members are entitled to individual votes on Club matters, but shall receive only one copy of all NNTC mailings and Newsletters.
Junior member: Individuals up to and including 17 years of age. Junior members may participate in all club activities, receive copies of all club mailings, but may not vote or hold office. Junior members become regular members automatically at age 18.

Dues
Annual membership dues are currently $25 ($35 for dual membership), payable annually on or before the first day of January. Dues for those persons elected to membership during the year are prorated.

Steps to membership
1. Have two NNTC members agree to sponsor your membership. Have them fill out a sponsor's questionnaire and return it to you.
2. Fill out an application.
3. Sign and date a copy of the NNTC code of ethics.
4. Send the
* application form,
* two sponsor's questionnaires,
* signed copy of the NNTC code of ethics,
* plus a check for $15.00 made out to the NNTC (the non-refundable processing fee) to the NNTC Membership Chairperson.
5. The Membership Chairperson will send you a short note indicating that we have received your membership packet, that everything is in order (or if not, what is missing), and let you know when the next meeting of the NNTC Board of Governors will be held.
6. At the next regular meeting of the NNTC Board of Governors, your membership application will be voted upon. (The NNTC Board of Governors meets regularly each Spring and Fall.) Note that your membership packet must be received at least three weeks before the meeting of the Board of Governors in order to be acted upon.
7. If your membership application is passed by two-thirds of the Board, your name will be presented to the membership in the next mailing to the membership. (This can be several months after the Board meeting.) If there is no objection to your membership within six weeks of the mailing, you are a member!
