Application Process:

Membership in our club requires sponsorship. Two sponsors, from different households, who have been members in good standing of the WTCA for at least two years and have known you for at least one year are required to apply to membership in the club.

  1. Download the Application
  2. Download the Code of Ethics
  3. Complete and sign
  4. Send electronically (e-mail) or by mail

Electronic signatures are acceptable – just type your name in the Signature field and it will appear in script.

E-mail your Application and signed Code of Ethics forms to me at with ‘WTCA New Member Application’ in the subject line. Copy your sponsors on the email so that they can send their letters of support. Fees and dues for email applications may be paid either through the credit card link on by clicking on our SHOP link.

You may also send your application by US mail. Send signed Application and Code of Ethics forms, along with a letter of recommendation from each of your sponsors, first year membership dues plus a $10.00 (US) non- refundable application fee to me at the address indicated on the application.

Provided everything is in order, your name will be sent electronically in an e-mail or published in the next issue of the Club’s quarterly newsletter for member review and comment. Then your application will be voted on at the Board of Directors’ meeting 30 days following the publication. The meetings take place throughout the year and in conjunction with the Club’s Spring Floating Specialty or the National Specialty.

Sincerely,

WTCA Membership Committee
