Well things have changed!

1.      / Since the last newsletter there has been another passing of one of    our members. That makes a total of three. They were as follows: Reg Read, Harry McBratney and James Campbell.  

2.      /As you are all aware by now, that we are affiliated with the Ontario Federation Of Anglers and Hunters, which means that you have individual coverage 24/7, that we did not have before.

3.      /To avoid the annual problem of late payment of dues, this year the Board of Directors has authorized that the DUE DATE for the payment of 2004 Club Dues be set for OCTOBER 31, 2003.  This would mean that you would be billed for your dues no latter than September 1, 2003.  Your current dues are still valid until December 31, 2003.

 Important Event coming up August 9th, 2003.   The first ever for the club and for the Brockville Area, a Summer Biathlon, that is to say, running and shooting competition.  We have been given guidance from Biathlon Ontario. That being said, I would like to request that any one who is available that day, please contact Terry Fox – 498-1407 or John Chisamore – 342-1641.   Further to the foregoing, it is necessary to have a firearms training session for those taking part in the competition, those on the firing line should have VALID firearms licences. We need volunteers to act as clerks as well as scorers, water bottle people, traffic control, runners, etc. If you feel you would like to be in the competition contact Terry or John.         

 PISTOL SHOOT - More that half of the Club has A. T. T. s for restricted firearms, but only about 2 or 4 ever show up at a Club Pistol Shoot.  So, on OCTOBER 19TH, 2003 AT 9:00 AM, there will be a pistol shoot.  There has been a Large Trophy donated for the placing of the Winners name and for the winner an   8 x 10 Colour Photo to take home. The Pistol Shoot consists of:25 yd. - Center fire; 50 yd. - Center fire; 25 yd. - Rim fire; 50 yd. - Rim fire.
