LRCGB offers Full or Associate Membership options. Full Members complete a modest work requirement –- which helps our volunteer-run organization run — and have the richest experiences. Associate Members are included in all membership communications and get member privileges to most events; the work requirement is encouraged but not expected.
How It Works
You may download the membership application form here:
This may well be the hardest part! Come to one of our events (see our Events Calendar page) and introduce yourself. Talk to the breeder you got your Lab from. Maybe you have friends in obedience, agility, or field venues you’re competing in, who would be happy to support your application.
Send the completed form by email to membership@lrcgb.org
At the very next Club meeting, your application will be presented as a First Reading to the membership. Club meetings happen frequently (see Events Calendar) but a few weeks of delay may be inevitable.
As soon as your application received its First Reading, you are eligible for the benefits of membership, such as participation in Club events, membership event pricing, etc.!!!
At the following Club meeting, your application will be voted on, to conclude the application process.
New members will receive a formal notification from our Membership Chair, along with a new-member packet – which includes, among other things, our Constitution and By-Laws, our Standing Rules, and our Code of Ethics.
