Westwood Gun Club urges all of its members to take the time to join GOAL and the NRA. For the price of two boxes of ammunition, you can help to support your rights at both the state and federal level. Please sign up today if you are not already a member. You will also help defray the cost of mailing the GOAL Outdoor Message as it is included in your GOAL membership, and the Club will not be charged to mail you a paper. Westwood Gun Club is currently open for membership. If interested, please stop by our Club on any Sunday afternoon, or visit our Website for dues information and to download an application to mail in.
February Meeting
The February meeting was held at the clubhouse on February 4th at 8 PM. Thank you to the members who made the meeting.
1. Due to a lack of a Quorum, the February meeting was cancelled.
2. The Club Website is now up and running and all members are encouraged to stop by and take a look. The 2009 Schedule of Events will be put up as soon as available. There is a Member’s only section available for comments, suggestions and any other info you would like to put up on the Message Board. The login info was sent out with the 2009 Key Release form.
3. Until further notice the lower Chain Link gate will remain open so that the road can be plowed.
4. We will be making up our 2009 Club Schedule soon, so if you have any event or match you would like to see happen, please let the Secretary know so that we can get it scheduled.
5. I would like to remind the members that plinking at cans or plastic bottles is only permitted when placed at the base of the berm on the wooden beam. All trash must be disposed of when you are done. No glass may be used for plinking targets. There has been a lot of trash left out by the berm, and if this continues, plinking will no longer be permitted.
6. A Motion was made by the Governor, discussed, seconded and passed to ban the use of any Incendiary/Tracer ammunition at the Club. This will be added to the new Range Rules and Procedures effective immediately.
7. We will be putting together some Range Safety Officer Courses toward the Spring to help staff our scheduled events this year. Help will be needed to have RSO’s run the Long Range Shooting Saturdays and to help out with our Matches and any special events that come up.
Club News
All club members are reminded to sign in and out, and wear their ID badges while using the range.
If you should see a club member or guest who may not be familiar with the club and range safety rules, please assist them in a polite manner. We must take this upon ourselves to be sure that all people using our facility do so in a proper manner. Safety is the first priority at Westwood Gun Club. All brass and trash must be disposed of properly, and if you see a full barrel, please empty it into the dumpster. Help keep your Club clean.
