Message from Our Club President

 

 

 

So is everyone ready to get out of the house and live life? Tired of being cooped up, must be time to blow off some steam and blow up some targets and clays.  Come to the range, bring your mask, social distance, and enjoy.

Always remember to dress in layers when coming to the range as seasons change by the minutes.

Rifle/Pistol:

Check Walnut Creek website or the USI website on the reopening and schedule for the shotgun and pistol range

Shoots:

We are going to get back to our shoots as soon as possible. We will be trying to reschedule our Birds Landing Sporting Clays shoot soon.

News:

Reminders: MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS ARE DUE…

Message from your Membership Chairman

It is Membership Renewal time for 2021, dues need to be paid by June 30^th.  Due to the Corona Virus we are not currently having club meetings so all dues have to paid by mail.  You can check the club website www.walnutcreeksportsmen.com where a link to the renewal form has been added.

For those of you that move or change email addresses you need to contact the club or send an email letting us know of these changes so we can update your profile and make sure all notifications, emails, and newsletters can be delivered in a timely manner. It’s coming up to renew time for memberships so do it now before the rush. We’re sorry for any inconvenience but Walnut Creek membership is wait list only right now.

Elections:

The Walnut Creek Sportsmen’s Club Bylaws require that we hold elections for club office yearly.  We take nominations in April, and again in May, then hold our General Election at the May meeting.  Unfortunately the State and the County rules during the Covid-19 pandemic makes that impossible at this time.  We have no other choice but to follow the Health and Safety guidelines mandated by the governing authorities.  Hopefully, we will see further relaxation of the shelter-in-place.  At this time, most restaurants and other similar venues are still restricted to “take out”, etc.  Therefore, the Board has voted to postpone our elections, the first time in our club’s 81 year history.  All current members of the board are willing to serve for 2020-2021.   If you are interested in running for the Board (all positions are open), please email any member of the Board with your name and what position you would like to run for.  As soon as the “shelter in place” restrictions allow, we will hold our official elections.

Social/Meeting:

We are still prohibited from using the clubhouse for meetings until the County Health Dept. eases the shelter-in-place restrictions.  As soon as use of the clubhouse is allowed, you will get an update.  The ranges are open with “social distancing” requirements and masks.

All Club activities are cancelled until further notice due to the Coronavirus.
