ARCS Club dues are currently $145 for 2024. The dues can, and will, change from year to year based on operational costs (field mowing service, AMA Charter, etc.) divided by the number of members. Dues are prorated for new members coming in after July 1st of the year. ARCS does have a member cap of 35. We were at that in 2023 but have a few openings available for 2024 (as of Feb)
A membership applicant must attend a regular scheduled club meeting to apply for membership. Please see the “Upcoming Events” Page for meeting dates. Potential new members must show proof of AMA membership to join and remain an ARCS member. AMA can be reached at the following web site:
https://www.modelaircraft.org/joinrenew.aspx
Potential new members are presented to the group as the second agenda item at a member meeting. We ask them to give a short introduction about themselves, submit a completed new member application and pay their dues, after which a vote will be taken by the members present, on accepting them into the club. (Over the past 10 years no applicant has been denied membership. We are a pretty friendly group.)
The ARCS application for membership form is attached below. Please download it, print it out, fill out and bring to the next meeting. An alternative method is to scan the filled-out form and send it as a PDF to Walt Senour (club secretary) at wsenour@gmail.com.
If you already are a member of the AMA, you may fly at our field, for up to three sessions when accompanied by an ARCS member. To set up an appointment with an ARCS member, call Dale Wilkins @ 864-378-1186.
