BEER CANS ON THE 50 UTILITY RANGE

Dear fellow members:

The follow rule was overlooked (to put it politely).

Rule 6:  "NOVELTY TARGET USE: Novelty Targets shall be removed by the shooter immediately when shooting is concluded. (Refer to the list of items prohibited for use on LFGC Ranges). Empty Alcohol containers are prohibited from being used as targets on all LFGC ranges. Novelty Targets shall only be used on those ranged where allowed." ( excerpt in red is the emphasis)

 cited from Rule 6 General Range Rules Londonderry Fish & Game Club, Inc.

Club leadership has made it a point to CLEARLY post ALL of the rules at each and every Range at LFGC. We've sent countless emails to the general membership regarding this issue and the rules in general. Lastly, we strongly emphasize this in Member Orientation. Despite those efforts, this....

This isn't really about not getting caught...i.e. "getting away with it." Nope. This is about respect. It's about a thumbnail view of just how much a few members respect these ranges. They don't. They rationalize in their own minds why it is okay for them to do this. They don't respect you, their fellow members, The club, or the hard work of those who keep this club maintained.  They aren't worth their memberships.

  It is LFGC's superb privilege to have an overwhelming body of members who enthusiastically enjoy the club and respect its facilities. I am grateful each and every day for our members. It is, after all, a truth of life that a few D-bags unfortunately walk among us.

 Even more good news is that we have a waiting list of eager people who don't find it  too tall of a rule to NOT use Alcohol containers as targets... We'll simply deny offenders the ability to renew their memberships for 2022. A divorce of sorts. Their membership slot has value for a whole other people. Why deny them if a membership does NOT have any value for a current member? Far be it from LFGC to hold anybody back from seeking an alternative opportunity.

 I'll close here by thanking the General Membership for their diligence, loyalty and respect for LFGC. It is all of you that make this such a great club. And to the rule violators, I will wish you well in your future membership pursuits, post LFGC.

Sincerely,

LONDONDERRY FISH & GAME CLUB, INC.
