Spring Swap Meet

Time to do some spring cleaning and recycle some of your previously enjoyed stuff like re-loading gear, that dusty rifle scope you don’t use, the tripod that came off the gun you sold last year. Maybe you are looking for a set of dies or some ammo for the collection.

Saturday April 23, 2022 from 11 am to 3 pm at the clubhouse on Grey Mountain Road.

Coffee pot will be on. Be prepared to help with the set up and the clean up.

Remember that all regulations regarding the transportation, display and the sale of firearms and ammunition  apply.

Even though the public health restrictions have been lifted please do not come if you are sick. Respect the need for others to have adequate personal space and also their decision to wear or not wear a mask.

Annual General Meeting

Please see the attached poster for information regarding the 2022 AGM of the Whitehorse Rifle & Pistol Club.

In order to provide sufficient space between club members attending the meeting it will be held in the indoor range. Again, you are requested to bring your own camp stool as the number of club chairs is limited.

MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL

March 31, 2022 marks the end of the current membership year and all memberships terminate. The locks on the gates will be changed on this day. The 2022 membership year begins April 1st.

Members in good standing who are in possession of a 2021 gate key will receive a new year gate key with their membership renewal for 2022. Renewal sticker and gate key will be sent by mail.

The membership form provides details regarding application submission methods and payment options.

Old year gate keys can be deposited in the box at the front door of the clubhouse once you are in receipt of your renewal sticker and new year gate key.

Go to the DOCUMENTS & FORMS TAB to download a member form.

Once their renewal is processed, club members who did not have a gate key in 2021 will need to participate in a range orientation session before a key is issued.

Indoor Range Night

Here’s the drill – Indoor Range night resumes Wednesday February 23, 2022 and will continue each Wednesday evening until March 30, 2022.

Time frame is 7 pm to 9 pm. Assuming we don’t see any minus 30 C temperatures!

Stay home if you are ill. Proof of Vaccination Certificate required when participating in any events held in the clubhouse or indoor range. Sign in the log book when entering the building.

A mask must be worn when in the clubhouse and indoor range. It may be removed when you are at your shooting station – so your safety glasses don’t fog up.

There will be a limit of 7 shooters on the line.

Calibre permitted is rim fire .22 LR for rifle and pistol. NO CENTRE FIRE.

COVID Restrictions Strike Again

To further limit contact between individuals, the recent YG public health notice of January 14, 2022 now restricts participation in an organized event or class, to a maximum of 10 from two households. It is for this reason that we are again required to cancel our indoor activities for the time being.

Until further notice:

Wednesday evening range nights are cancelled,

Canadian Firearms Safety Courses will not be scheduled until the restrictions allow, and

The date for the Annual General Meeting cannot be confirmed at this time.
