September 11, 2010 Meeting Minutes

Meeting was called to order by Jeremy Smith at 7:30 p.m. on September 11th, 2010

The August minutes were presented by Randy Mitchell and approved on a motion by Bob McClure and a second by Andy Shaffer. The treasurer’s report was presented by the treasurer George McCoy and approved on a motion by Steve Strouse and a second by Bob McClure.

Old Business
Randy Mitchell presented a review of the condition of the clubhouse based upon a meeting he had with Pat McNaul on 9/9/10. Overall the building is in very good shape but a list of immediate and future repairs was presented. Andy Shaffer made a motion to purchase a new support post to replace a wooden one in the basement that was identified as an immediate concern. The motion passed. A motion was made to proceed with other repairs and Randy Mitchell will contact Joe Mitchell and Mike Straub (two members with construction experience) to make other immediate repairs.

Tom Noble contacted Unilec and organized the removal of the live electric line from the club grounds and pond. Volunteers are needed to move the poles off of the range. The purchase of a factory refurbished trap thrower just like ours was approved on a motion by Jeremy Smith. A new automatic carousel for the trap thrower was also approved for purchase after a motion by Nick Prave and a second by Roy Mahlon. After a third reading of the amendment to the by-laws to make the club alcohol free a vote was held and the amendment was defeated by a vote of 25 no’s and 1 abstention.

Match Reports
The last rimfire event of the year had 21 targets, and there were 10 shooters for the IBS match.

New Business
Charles Bungo made a motion to formulate a by-law to govern alcohol use and the resulting penalties for misuse by the board of directors. The consensus is that there should be ban on alcohol use during any shooting events and violation of this rule will result in immediate expulsion upon misuse by the club member or guests.

There will be a 400 yard IBS match on 9/12/10. On November 14th there will be a 400 yard shoot with 3 classes. The matches are for any style gun with any scope and any ammo. The 3 classes will be split by guns in calibers 223, 308 and any center fire rifle.

Greg Yutzey reported that the IRS paperwork for the 503C7 has been sent and they will contact us if they need any other paperwork. We have received an invitation from Matt Gabler to attend the Johnsonburg Sportsmen’s show on 9/25/10.

The annual Chukar Hunt will be next Sunday 9/19/10 and is $40.00 per person or $160.00 per squad of 4 shooters with a $12.00 reduction for any missing shooters from the 4-man squad. Bob McClure purchased supplies for the kitchen and members are advised to pack and seal the items after use. Tom Noble made a motion to advance Steve McClure $150.00 for food for the Chukar Hunt. Members are reminded that there are no reservations of the club after October 1st, the beginning of hunting season. Lime has been delivered and needs dumped into the pond.

Nick Prave won the $12.50 50/50 drawing.

Randy Mitchell made a motion to adjourn and Bob McClure seconded the motion.

Respectfully submitted by Randy Mitchell,  Secretary.
