BUSINESS/BOARD MEETING

The May Business/Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday evening May 5th at 7 PM. We will meet in our usual meeting room at the Scotia Methodist Church.

This would be run much like a Golf Tournament and would include a raffle, prizes and lunch. Registration would begin at 9 AM followed by a safety talk and tutorial and at 10 AM we would begin moving through the various stations. Participants would be split into teams of 6 and each team would start at the same time; a true “Shot Gun” start. There would be at least one experienced shooter in each group.
