Another year has come and gone and the board of directors would like to wish you all the best in the year to come.
We have just had our annual general meeting, where we elected our executive for the 2002 season. The club now has full range approval from the CPFO office for the disciplines of shooting we had applied for. I would like to thank all those members who came out to the work parties and made the many trips up the new berm in order to complete it to its present 12' height. A special thanks must also go out to Bob Clendennin for keeping all the help well fed during the work parties (this helped to pack down the berm).
Steve is now taking memberships for the 2002 year, if you haven't rejoined by now please hurry up and do so. I will be sending an up to date membership list to the CPFO office in the near future. If you have not rejoined the club by this time, there is a very good chance that your ATT (carrying permit) will become void. Please see attached notice and CPFO newsletter regarding these matters.
By the time this newsletter arrives, we will have had our annual luncheon at Duffs, to help celebrate the winners of the Polar Bear match, John Kellaway, as well as the winner of the Horn, Brian Hendry (monthly black powder shoots). This luncheon is open to all club members and especially those who come out and participate in these events. With regards to the black powder guys. There is a group of about 5 or 6 shooters who travel around the province and the USA from our club and I can't remember a match that these guys have gone to where one of us hasn't come home with a trophy or two. So for anyone with a black powder gun hidden away or if you have the slightest interest, please come out on the third Saturday of every month and see what it's all about and help make some smoke.
We have been advised by the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations that we should include a dissolution clause in our club By-Laws. A couple of your executive have found a place for this in the club By-Laws, and have come up with the following change for item # 47. Please note the proposed change will be voted on at the next meeting to be held on February 10, 2002 at 11 a.m. in the clubhouse.
As is:
47.

Yours In Shooting
