Things That Need Done Around the Club

Several members have asked what needs done around the club. Here's a list:
1. Trim bushes around the pond so you can drive a vehicle around it.
2. Rock pile beside the shooting room needs moved down to near the septic clean-out pipe.
3. Trees and bushes need trimmed back in front of and around the sign at the gate and the gate itself.
4. Trim trees and bushes back between the 100-yard and 200-yard pits.
5. Camp floors and bathroom need a good scrubbing and/or cleaning.
6. Outhouse is in need of repair. Anything that is done would be a great help.
7. Concrete stoop needs repaired outside the shooting room.
8. Gate and post need painted.
9. Bushes at the corner of the front porch need trimmed back.
10. Area around the fire ring needs cleaned.
11. Trap house and railing need painted.
12. Pallets on hay wagon need burned or put into pond with some kind of weight attached.
13. Blue tree shelters need weed-whacked so the brush hog can be run.

Old Lawn Tractor Back in Service

Our old lawn tractor is back in service and is being housed in the tractor shed.

It is to be used for mowing around the pond and any other tall grass that needs cut. The new tractor is for mowing around the camp and the 100/200-yard ranges.

Our thanks to Bud McCall for getting it back in service.

Marc Coleman, also a regular, finished in the money in all four classes he participated in. (ALSO NO SMALL FEAT)

Now please note the scores in the UNLIMITED II CLASS which all three money winners had a 247 score and the only thing that was different was the X count, which led to an awful shoving contest at the pay window.

Thank you,
