    I was a member at Islington years ago.

    It's a good club. The only reason I left was distance involved to get there.

    I'm not a member but a good friend of mine is and he speaks highly of it. He is a bit fuddish though so YMMV.
    My idea of sustainability is having enough ammo for your gun and enough fuel for your tank.

    It's just their home made laws and policies of the club that if they don't seems to like you , they will keep postponing the memebership and you have to have someone to get you inside their waiting list and at this point I believe that there are about 40 guys in waiting line and mostly they take about 5 a year and many just find ways to other clubs in the mean time. Not sure what their policy is right now and I could be wrong but I would look for BARRIE or BORDEN or ORRILIA or shoot in my mother-in -law's basement before try there

    The membership is capped at 325 - a policy that is debated (it seems) at least annually. Most people who are on the wait list seem to be there for around a year or so.

    And yes, to join you need a sponsor.
