• Congratulations to Club member Ken Connors who is anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new family member in just a few short months! Sleep now 'cause you won't sleep after :-)  !
  
• There is in excess of 30 steel targets damaged or destroyed by indiscriminate rifle fire. This is blatant disrespect of Club equipment. Individuals participating in such vandalism will have their memberships revoked.
  
• The local detachment of the RNC will be renting the range from Monday, Oct 26 - Friday Oct 30 from 8am-5pm. The Club is effectively off limits to everyone during this time.
• All non-members (even if they were past members) are subject to a $10 range fee PER VISIT. Reports indicate that there is a significant amount of people accompanied by existing members using the facilities (primarily sighting in their hunting rifles) without paying the range fee. If you are un-sure of the range regulations please read them on this site or contact any member of the executive.
  
• The bulk order for  shotgun shells will be placed on Tuesday, October 27. As always a 50% cash deposit must accompany your order. Only current Club members are eligible to participate!

June 20, 2009

• We are looking for interested persons to look after the skeet machines! We have all taken a little too much advantage of Mr. Testu's kind disposition and always relied too heavily on him to fix everything! This is totally unfair and I support Mr. Testu's recent decision to step away from the maintenance portion of the skeet field, as he more than enough to do with the Sporting Clays portion of the Club. Volunteers (especially those Club members that shoot this discipline) should contact M. Filippi asap so we can order the parts and schedule the repairs.

June 17, 2009

• The bulk pistol / rifle ammo order has arrived. You will be contacted shortly to come collect your ammo!
• The annual Duathalon road race will be going ahead on Sunday, June 21. Shooters should be at the Club no later than noon as the road will be closed to all traffic  from 12:30pm - 3:30pm.

• Congratulations to Doug Thomas who recently welcomed a new beautiful baby girl to the family! We hope to still see you at the Club between diaper changes!

June 11, 2009

• As a result of the increasing target & freight costs we are left with no choice but to increase the price of birds. Effective immediately the new price for 25 clays is $4.00 per round. RO's please convey this to all shooters as you collect their fees!
• We are looking at organizing a large scale shoot for early July. If we have volunteers to help we are considering a resurrection of the KOM of old (skeet, trap, sporting clays, rifle & pistol). If interested please let M. Filippi know ASAP!
  

June 9, 2009

Please contact Mr. Testu ASAP!!!
