Military, Veterans and First Responders  

The Blue Grass Sportmen's League appreciates the service to and sacrifice for our country of the men and women who serve or have served in the United States military and the service to our community of men and women who work as first responders.  As a token of that appreciation, we offer them the benefits enumerated below.

Free 90 Day Trial Membership

New prospective members who provide proof of military, veteran, or first responder status will receive a one time 90 day trial membership free of charge, after which normal membership rates and any required fee (e.g. gate card) would apply should the member elect to renew. 

Please call the office at 859-858-4060 during normal business hours Monday through Friday if you are eligible and would like to initiate the free 90 day trial membership offer. 

Refund of Initiation Fee to First Time Members

In order to receive this benefit, military, veterans or first responders must make an application and be accepted to the BGSL. Upon completion of new member orientation, proof of status should be presented to the to the BGSL main office, which will then issue a refund in the form of the original payment method for the initiation fee paid during the membership process.  

Deferral of Dues During Deployment on Active Duty (Military)

It is the standing policy of the Blue Grass Sportsmen’s League to support our U.S. Military Troops while deployed on active duty away from their homes in central Kentucky. This policy will cover all branches of the military to include National Guard and all Reserve personnel whether deployed overseas or on garrison missions in the United States outside of the the service area of the Blue Grass Sportsmen’s League. Training missions are not a part of this Policy. Membership Dues will be frozen the month of departure and resume the month when they change stations back home. Membership for those family members left at home will continue uninterrupted during the deployment. Affected members need only present a copy of deployment orders to the BGSL Bookkeeper prior to their movement and Dues will be frozen for the period of service, then present the orders for return, and the time period will be added to the existing membership term. Leave and Liberty time will not affect the time period. All member, deployment and movement information will be kept sealed and protected at all times. If deployment information cannot be provided, an official letter will need to be sent on the member’s behalf to start the process and the period will be worked out upon return.
