Range Lock Change: Hopefully, by the time you receive this, the combination to the locks at the Range will have been changed. If you wish to renew it should be done so at once. DO NOT send renewals to Brooks Glover. That slows things down. Send renewals to: Blue and Gray, P.O. Box 2285, Huntsville AL 35804.
Range Safety: There have been reports of members wandering down range w/o getting a cease fire. ALWAYS call for a cease fire before proceeding down range AND be sure to receive a clear response from all the other shooters.
Work Party: The Range will be closed for a Work Party on April 22nd. If you are able to help out, the following tools will be useful: shovel, garden rake, weed eater, hammer and electric drill/screwdrivers.
NOTE: Trash barrels always need emptying independent of the work parties. Let me know how many you have emptied for work time. Be SURE there are no hot coals in any barrels emptied. David Howard
