2016 Gate Keys

Did you renew your membership for 2016?  Did you miss the AGM in January? Then you also missed the opportunity to hand in your 2015 gate key and collect your 2016 gate key and member card.

Locks on the gate were changed on January 31, 2016.

Wednesday February 24, 2016 at the clubhouse at 7 pm is  your opportunity to hand in your old key, or keys if you have them from previous years, and obtain your 2016 gate key.

Please do your part in keeping the operating costs of the club under control by returning your previous years key.

Web Page Update

The start of a new year is a good time to refresh and update our club information resource, so check out the menu on the left side of the WRPC Homepage for the latest changes.

Recognizing that people want to obtain small bits of information quickly, the menu has been condensed  to hopefully provide that rapid response.

“When is the next firearms course?”

“I heard there is a petition about a gun issue”

“How do I  renew my PAL online?”

Stay tuned, as we continue to update the home page.
