Application Process for New Membership
Application for new membership in NCRCC must be made in person at a general membership meeting. Click here to learn when/where the next NCRCC general membership meeting will take place.
As an applicant, you must attend at least two NCRCC meetings. During the first meeting you attend, you will be asked to identify yourself and provide the members with a brief description about your aeromodelling experience and interests. During a subsequent meeting you attend, the members may vote on your application for membership. Acceptance for NCRCC membership is contingent upon a favorable simple majority vote by the club members. Once approved for NCRCC membership, you will be given a membership badge which you must wear when you are at the NCRCC flying field.
NCRCC, in its sole absolute discretion, has the right to refuse membership to any person for any reason.

For Junior Members, no initiation fee is required.
There is no initiation fee for existing NCRCC members who are timely in renewing their membership. However, late renewals will be assessed an initiation fee. A late renewal is one that is received after the January meeting.
