2021 Annual General Meeting
2021 AGM has been rescheduled to Feb 27, 10am to let this health order pass (hopefully). Will update here with location details after we finalize.
2022 memberships
2022 membership invoices will go out automatically on December 1.
New memberships for 2022 will also start at the same time.
We have published an updated, condensed rule book here. Please read this and be familiar with it. Please print it and bring the rule book with you to pick up your cards / attend your range orientation. This is important.
Starting immediately, we are launching a range orientation for all new-members; it’s a short orientation covering how to sign in/out, how we handle cease-fires. This will be required for new members and always available for current members.
When picking up your card, you will be asked to sign that you have read the above rule book and understand it. Our goal is to eliminate safety concerns and reduce damage to club property, as well as you’ll get to meet at least one of the staff members and chat with them.
