Member Access to Club Driveway, Ranges, and
Club House
- The entrance driveway is now closed to vehicular traffic for the
winter season.
- To avoid becoming stuck in the snow and to
prevent damaging the roadbed, members (and others) should not attempt
to drive through the gateway.
- Club shooting ranges may still be used, but
members will have to park at the road and walk, snowshoe, or ski in
to use them
- DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF THE GATE. In winter the
driveway must always be available for emergency access. Official
responders are able to open the gate and use snow-going vehicles to
help with emergencies on the club property.
- When you park near the entrance, as a courtesy
please post your cellphone number in your vehicle window in case you
need to be contacted.
- The clubhouse is closed. It has been winterized
- water shut off, pipes drained, etc. The combination to the lock on
the door has been changed. So, there are no restroom facilities
available at the range until next spring.
- The lock on the members' clay thrower is set to
the combination furnished to members for the current membership year.
- When the roadbed firms up after spring thaw, the
driveway will be reopened.
- Please contact the secretary or other officers
with questions and concerrns.
