We are the last club to raise our costs for shooting a round of skeet. But it had to be done. Starting April 1st the price for a round of skeet for club members will be $3.00 for Non Members is will be $5.00.
Last month’s request for those interested in learning the procedures for membership chairmen did not have any results. Again anyone interested in learning theprocedures please contact Jim Kelley or Dan booker.
It’s great that club members can exercise their dogs on club property. However cleaning up after them is a responsibility not being complied with on the Skeet field. Please be responsible.
EB Security will be using the multipurpose range for training from the 16th to the 24th of April. All other ranges will be open. The GSC representatives for EB training is filled for these dates.

The field day is scheduled for the 29th of April. The ranges may be closed on the 28th for setup. George Chapman will be having a work party at 9AM on this day to clean the ranges.
Field day raffle tickets are available .See Wayne Carbone to pick up. The raffle is very important to the clubs operation; and now may be even more important this year.
The Archery Committee will have a work party setting out the 3-D targets on April 7, at 7am. This is also opening day for fishing at the NS/Vol property, we picked this day so we can help support the Fish Committee's breakfast.
The 21st annual 16 gauge side by side shoot is scheduled for Sunday 22 April. If you don't have a 16 gauge SxS you may be able to borrow one for the shoot.
