JOIN THE NZDA TAUPŌ BRANCH

NZDA is New Zealand’s longest standing recreational hunting and shooting organisation at a nationwide level.

The NZDA Taupō membership subscription year is from 1st March to 29th February.

All new members of the Taupo branch are required to undergo a probationary period of three months where attendance and behaviour will be considered by the Committee before confirmation of full membership.

We also want to highlight the importance of attending the mandatory Branch induction during the probationary period.
This engaging session will equip you with valuable insights into our branch operations, safety policies, and procedures. We trust that this is necessary to ensure a safe and cohesive club community and environment
