REMINDER TO ALL MEMBERS
Lockheed Martin's Workplace Security policy, CPS-565 is strictly enforced. One provision of the policy is a workplace free of weapons, including firearms. The club must emphasize this policy to our members. Additionally, a state issued CCW permit does not supersede nor over ride this LMA policy. Firearms are only allowed onto the property under the following conditions: Skyline members in good standing, signed in at the gate, must proceed directly to and from the range.
SAFETY CORNER
Mandatory training for all members will be started in January 2006 to prepare club members for the new road requirements, the revised Range Rules, and the beginning of yearly Safety training. 2006 badges will NOT be issued without this training. This will include access familiarization for the new road. We will encourage Ridge Rider members to attend these classes so they can understand what rules we are telling Skyline members to follow. Starting in March 2006, all access to the archery and shooting ranges will be from Wadsworth Blvd, not through the main plant gate. No Grace period for submitting your club dues and obtaining your new badges will be allowed due to the access and safety training.
