Membership, Sparta, Opportunities, AIM All State Team!

Happy “all most” New Year Everyone, I wanted to take this opportunity to pass on some information.

Membership:

As you know membership is now open to everyone. We currently have openings in all of our disciplines however some are just about full. If you’ve delayed in getting your paperwork in, I suggest you take care of it now. On January 20th we are hosting a new/perspective member Informational Meeting where I’m hoping that we will finalize our 2016 roster

Sparta:

The World Shooting Complex, home of the SCTP/SPP Nationals, in Sparta remains closed and the Illinois budget has yet to be finalized. That means, as of today, there is no set date or location for the 2016 SCTP/SPP Nationals. I know some of you were planning to attend and trying to get a room at the Holiday Inn Express in Sparta however given the current situation that may not be a good idea. As soon as I hear any new news I will pass it on.

Additional Opportunities:

With the New Year comes a bunch of opportunities. What I know is listed below.

New Years Day Trap – Glen Rock will be open New Year’s Day from noon-2pm for anyone who would like to shoot. Bird prices the same as 2015. Reduced rate for what we have left of “pick up” birds.
