What's Happening at the Club

 

Just a brief update as to what is going on in the club these days:


 
FLINT RANGE:  The new shade tarps are up over the practice area of the flint range.  Enjoy the respite from the sun.   Eventually we hope to put a more solid surface down so that we don't have to stand in the mud during the rainy season.  A special thank you to Frank Ogden, who headed the effort, and all the people who assisted him.

 
POLE BARN:  The pole barn roof was replaced by one of our members, Enrique Calderon, and his construction crew.

 
TOURNAMENTS:  We have hosted quite a few tournaments this year.   If you would like to start competing, please come out on any Wednesday evening and one of the board members will be happy to tell you how to get started.   It's a great way to spend time on a weekend and we'd love to have more participation at our tournaments.  All full members of the club are members of both the NFAA and the FAA - which allows you to compete at any of the tournaments.   The only additional cost is the registration fee for each individual tournament.  The cost usually ranges from approx. $20. to $30. depending on the type of tournament.

 
WORK PARTY THIS SATURDAY, MAY 12:   We are having a work party this coming Saturday morning, May 12.   Going to do some basic range clean up, repair some of the target butts and take down a couple of trees that have fallen across the paths.  Please bring gloves, and tools or clippers/loppers if you have them.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

 
EQUIPMENT:   Miami-Dade County Parks would like us to set up concessions for both archery accessories as well as a vending machine on the premises.  Both are in the works.   Details to follow soon.

 
HUNTING:   For those that hunt in the Big Cypress, it will be closed to ORVs from June 3rd to August 3rd to allow the wildlife relief from pressure period for the wildlife.  

 
ANNUAL PICNIC:   Our annual renewal picnic is July 15, 2012.   Please come and shoot, eat and have a good time. 

 
WEB PAGE:  Remember, our web address is www.evergladesarchers.com   There is a lot of useful information there, including our schedule and how to get ahold of the board.
