Membership Requirements

DUES

Membership Dues are due at the time of application for new members! Membership(s) renew annually and due on January 1st of each year! There is a 30-day grace period for renewing members to pay.

GENERAL MEETINGS

Our general member meetings are held on the first Monday at 6:30 PM in the months of January, March, May, July, September, and November. The Board can call special meetings during any time and will give notice if that is the case. Meetings are typically held at the WRC grounds either on the NW Bleacher or in the concession stand, but can be held virtually! All meetings and location are posted in member-only communication prior to the meeting.

Members must attend 3 General Meetings annually to remain in good standing. In order for members to vote during the November elections for Officers & Directors, they must attend 3 meetings PRIOR to the November meeting. This may be waived the night of elections by the majority.

WORK & VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS

Our organization is 100% volunteer & member ran! In order to keep our events going, Members have a requirement to help not only put on events but also to assist with general maintenance at the ground through-out the year.

Member Work Hours: Each membership is required to work a minimum of eight (8) scheduled working hours on general ground maintenance. The Grounds Director releases a member work day schedule, voted on by the membership, for set work days. Once members are in good standing and have the gate codes, they can work their hours when convenient for them with coordination with the Grounds Director.

Work / Volunteer at WRC Events: Each membership is required to work one-third (1./3) of the WRC Hosted events per calendar year. These events include but are not limited to Playdays, Barrel Races/Jackpots, Barrel Expo Nights, and our Annual 4th of July Rodeo. This gives members the opportunity to be involved in the events that they are interested in. Members can opt to have a friend or family member work their event hours in their place.

NEW MEMBER REQUIREMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED IN GOOD STANDING

New Members must meet these requirements prior to being recognized as in good standing & obtain their voting rights:

Complete all 8 Work Hours
Attend 1 General Meeting
Work/Volunteer at 1 WRC Event

Once a new member is considered in good standing, they have the entire calendar year to meet all requirements. Renewing Members have the calendar year to meet their work and event hours.

Membership Perks

ARENA ACCESS

All Members in good standing receive access to the arena for personal use. Please reference by-laws for information about guest(s) and arena use on the day of events. The Grounds Director is responsible for disbursing the access codes to any member in good standing and for changing the code annually. The gate code will only be given to new members once they have completed the requirements for being considered in good standing and will be given to renewing members once their application and annual membership dues have been paid.

WRC SERIES & EVENTS

Members in good standing do not pay nomination or award fees for any of WRC hosted events or series, this is a $20-$25 per rider fee for each series WRC holds!
