Dear Ikes:
Trap and Sitz range closed Sunday November 13: The VA Tech Trap team will be holding a fund raiser at the range that will last most of the day.
Christmas dinner: The annual Club Christmas dinner will be held Saturday December 10th at 5:00 pm. Bring a side dish or dessert and enjoy visiting with members during this holiday season.
Club Election Results for 2011- 2012: The following members were elected to serve on the Board of Directors for the next year: Monte Smith, John Kirby, Bill Lyons, Jeff King, Jim Farley, Spencer Winfrey, Lawrence Tabor, David Faron, and Robbie Robbins. Elected to positions of office were: President - Joe Rasnake, Vice President – Dave Hockenberry, Treasurer – Rick Reed, Membership Secretary – Janice Austin, and Secretary – Dean Gall. The club expresses appreciation to all those willing to take the time to serve our organization.
Raffle: The Board decided to not hold a raffle this coming year. This decision will be reviewed annually depending on whether funds are available in the operating account to put on the Kids Fishing Rodeo.
Membership Renewals: Letters are being sent out to renew your memberships for 2012. Membership fees are remaining at $110 ($135 for new members) even though National and State dues have increased. The National Club office continues to be slow in getting membership cards sent out. In the meantime, continue to display your 2011cards until you receive your 2012 version.
22 Rimfire Silhouette, Large Bore Handgun Silhouette, and 22Rimfire Bench Rest Shoots continue: These shoots are held on the second Sunday of each month beginning at 1:00 at the Tabor Range. The afternoon will begin with the 22 silhouette shoot, a large bore silhouette, and then followed by the 22 rimfire Bench Rest event.
Action Pistol Shoots: We completed another successful APS season averaging 27 shooters at the monthly competitions. At these shoots, we stressed safety, interesting and challenging stages for both beginners and seasoned competitors, and a fun low key atmosphere for all the entrants. Although the IDPA style shoots will not be held again until March, we will have some “fun shoots” (3rd Saturdays running November through February) to test and improve your handgun skills.

Their generous donations help cover the printing and postage costs of all our club mailings. When you do business with these sponsors, please thank them for their support to our club.
