We’ve  made changes to our lifetime members policy. The policy goes into effect in 2019. The reason for the change is twofold. We have a long list of lifetime members and do not know if they still reside in the area. And for safety reasons we want to ensure all members are up to date on policy and procedure changes. The new policy is as follows:

“Lifetime members will be required to fill out a membership application prior to receiving a membership card. The membership application can be accepted by the members of the Board of Directors and does not require approval of the membership at a general meeting. Lifetime members who are not regularly active, will attend orientation every five years, starting on their fifth year.”

The definition of an active member is one who uses the range and or attends meetings.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to any of the Board Members.

Come and enjoy our annual wild game supper this Wednesday February 21st. It starts at 6:00 pm and is hosted by the American Legion, Post 158 on Webster Rd., Lisbon.

If you  would like to contribute, please contact Ron Jack at 666-3464.

The regular monthly meeting will start at 7pm.

Hope to see you there.

Hello Everyone,

Some of you may know me, if not my name is Tim McClure. I’ve just been elected as the new president of the club. Yeah, what was I thinking? I like shooting and I wanna keep the range open, so what the heck. A little about my self. I’m a 6 year Navy veteran. My rating was Boatswain’s Mate. I’ve been a computer technician for the last 30 years. I enjoy shooting rifle and pistol mostly. I occasionally dust off my shotgun. I also enjoy fishing and hunting small game. I haven’t done much bird hunting, but I’d like to learn more.

With the new pistol range, I’m excited about the coming year. We also have a lot we’d like to still do. In regards to our facility, our club house is in bad shape. One of our priorities is to replace it. Our goal is to have a new building by 2020. We plan to start out modest by getting a building up. With a possibility of adding a restroom and a kitchen at a later date. Of course the challenge will be funding it. We plan to do so by growing our membership and holding fund raisers. If any of you have experience with fundraising, please contact me. We need your help.

In addition we’d like to hold more activities at the club. For example a black powder shoot. There is also a lot of interest in steel pistol shoots. Again we are looking for help with that. So if you are interested in volunteering and organizing please contact me. We will continue the twice a month, Sunday trap shoot as soon as the weather improves and mud season is over.

We’ll also be adding an events calendar to our website shortly. So keep an eye out for it. If you have not had a chance to sign up for website notifications I encourage you to visit our web page and sign up. If you are on Facebook, look us up too. And as always, our meetings are the third Wednesday of the month at 7pm. Its a great opportunity to voice your wants and get involved.

On that note, I look forward to seeing you at the range.

Due to weather, the January 17th meeting is postponed until January 24th, 7:00 pm at the American Legion, Post 158.

Lisbon Fish & Game Members,

We hope that you had a good ending to 2017. With a new year ahead of us, we have a few projects and events for the range. For this months meeting, we will be having our elections. Currently we have the Presidents’ position open for a member who may be interested. The other Club officer’s positions are open, the vice president, secretary and treasurer plus a position on the Board of Directors. If there is no interest in the position of VP, secretary and treasurer, the current officer in that position has opted to stay for another year. The Board of Director position is for 3 years.

The meeting will be held in the American Legion’s upstairs meeting room at 7 PM. Items to be discussed will cover sunset hour notification as well as other Club business and questions or concerns from the membership.

We will be having our game supper in February. If you still have some leftover game that you would like to share, please keep us in mind and let us know. The date for the supper/meeting, is Feb. 21st, 6 PM, at the American Legion’s downstairs area.

For future thought, one area we want to explore is the organization of pistol shoots. To do this we would like some help from our members. If you have experience with organizing pistol shoots and would like to take the challenge, please get in touch with one of our officials or attend a meeting. The trap shoots will continue on the first and third Sundays of the summer months.

Vicki Millett, Secretary

Beginning September 5th, the range will be closed to all shooting until the berm for the new pistol range is competed.

This coming Wednesday, the 16th, we will have our monthly meeting at the clubhouse.

Information about the progress of the new pistol range and other information, will be discussed.  We will need to have a “work day” soon. The date has not been decided yet.

What we would like to have is a large turnout for this work day so we can get started with the pistol range. Trees need to cut and the brush moved out of the way to make way for the ground work.

The weather is another big factor but maybe we might get lucky and have a good stretch of decent weather. If all this comes together, we just might get this new pistol range up and running this year.

There’s more than one thing that must fall into place and extra help on work days is always a plus. Time and good weather will predict the outcome.

See you at the meeting.

Vicki Millett, Secretary
