Changes To WTPA Membership Requirements
As you would be aware WTPA is an organisation which holds an exemption under the Control of Weapons Act 1990 (as amended) and is required to comply with the terms of the exemption laid out in the Victorian Government Gazette, G25 17 June 2004 …
WTPA & members must comply with all requirements of the exemption and with the purposes for which the exemption was granted.
WTPA has recently received correspondence from the Department of Justice emphasising these requirements and in particular reminding the association that the requirements be kept in mind when communicating with members in Victoria or when considering applications for memberships.
It was also stressed that swords are classified as prohibited weapons in Victoria and that all conditions of the exemption must be made known to all sword students.
To this end a copy of the WTPA notes on the possession, storage and carriage of swords is available below and it is essential that all members who possess swords and rely on the WTPA exemption comply with the requirements.
All renewals of membership and new members will be required to complete a revised membership application, a copy of which is available below.
Should the WTPA exemption be withdrawn it will result, not only in a great inconvenience to Tai Chi and Wushu practitioners, but also a great expense, as expensive individual permits will be necessary.
As a consequence of the department’s letter the committee has resolved that all members will be required to submit an application form on renewing their membership. The membership renewal will require details from organisation members as to how the school proposes to ensure provisions regarding weapons are to be met, and an undertaking that a copy of the requirements will be provided to all Tai Chi & Wushu Sword students.
