New Holland Rifle and Pistol Club - Applicant Requirement

.

I'm interested in applying to the club for a membership, well applying to the "NHRPC 2021 Membership Lottery Application".

The rules state: Applicants must have attended the club at a match, event, or as a guest 3 times in the previous 12 months.

Do I need to have "visited" the club just as an spectator during an event 3 times even before applying or this a requisite prior to receiving full membership?

I'm in the Philly suburbs so the two and a half hour round trip does not allow me to casually drop in to check things out. There are plenty of December events on the calendar but I have no idea which are open to the public and which are members only.

Can a member clarify all of this?
