MEMBERSHIP FAQs
Where can I mail the membership check?
The address is listed on the membership form, which you can download from the NVPS website, or pick up at one of our weekly meetings.

Can I join NVPS online?
No, NVPS does not currently have a way for you to join via our website. We also do not accept credit cards.

By when do I have to join?
You can join NVPS at any time throughout the year. Please remember that you must be an active member to participate (enter images) in the monthly competitions.

Can I just come to a meeting to check it out, without becoming a member?
Yes! Guests are always welcome.

When & where does NVPS meet?
We meet at the Dunn Loring Fire Station and we meet every 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Tuesday of the month from September through May. Exceptions: No meeting the 4th Tuesday in December. Click here for directions.

How long do club meetings last?
At 7pm, please feel free to join us for a meet-and-greet at the station. The meetings officially start at 7:30pm. For non-competition nights, they run until 9 or 9:30, depending on the presentation/event. Competition night can run until 10pm but we try not to go longer than that (it will vary depending on the number of entries).

Can you tell me about dinners with the speakers/judge?
All members are welcome to join the judge or speaker for dinner, prior to club meetings. This is a good way to meet with, and get to know fellow members. We meet at 5:45 at the Chili's in Tyson's Corner. The club pays for the judge/speaker's meal, but you must pay for your own.
