July 1, 2011: The Williamson Conservation and Sporting Club’s monthly meetings are normally held on the first Tuesday of the month. Because of the holiday, the July meeting will be the second Tuesday of the month. The next meeting is July 12, 2011. Meetings start at 7 PM.
June 21, 2011: There will be a range work day, on Saturday, June 25, 2011. This past Saturday morning, many helpers worked hard to prepare the ground for new concrete. On Saturday morning June 25, the concrete will be poured. Also berm restoration work and some painting will be on the menu for the day. Of course during this process, there will be some range closures. On Saturday morning, the entire range will be closed. In addition, for the remainder of Saturday June 25 and all day Sunday June 26, the 25 and 50 meter ranges will be closed to allow the concrete to cure. By Monday June 27, normal range usage will again be allowed. Work begins at 7 AM. Work hours count towards your annual work commitment. If you can help with this project, please contact Jeff Kunzer.
June 13, 2011: There will be range work days, on the next two Saturdays, June 18 and 25, 2011. On Saturday June 18, the work of the day will be to prepare the ground for new concrete. Work will start at 7 AM and should be finished before noon. On Saturday morning June 25, the concrete will be poured. Of course during these days, there will be some closures. On both Saturday mornings, the entire range will be closed. In addition, all day Saturday June 25 and Sunday June 26, the 25 and 50 meter ranges will be closed to allow the concrete to cure. By Monday June 27, normal range usage will again be allowed. If you can help with this project, please contact Jeff Kunzer.
June 9, 2011: On Saturday June 11, 2011, the WCSC will be hosting a pistol class. So there may be some disruptions to normal range usage. It is expected that range activity will be normal in the morning. However in the afternoon, you may have to share the range with the students. So if you plan on using the range on Saturday afternoon, please be advised. It would be prudent to check in at the club house, and advise the instructors that you are there to use the range. Sorry if this causes any inconvenience.
June 9, 2011: Recently there has been some non-conforming usage of the WCSC range. In particular, some milk jugs and beverage cans have been found, and have been used as targets. Also the range gate has been discovered open on several occasions. If you are a user of the range, please contact Jeff Kunzer if you discover any unusual things at the range. Also be observant of other users of the range, and notice if they have badges, and how they get access to the range. However do not challenge anyone. Just contact Jeff Kunzer with details, including date and time of any observations. Using our automated gate entry system will help us track these problems, if the culprits are indeed gaining entry through the gate. Thanks for your assistance with this issue.
