| 11/11/2023 Draft Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Grays Harbor Rifle and Pistol Club October 17, 2023 The Meeting was called to order @ 6:30 by President Riley Morris.

NEW BUSINESS: Riley announced the new policy regarding membership renewals. The purpose behind the mandate of all members attending one monthly membership meeting a year is simply because it seems some members have forgotten the basic rules of the Range. This has resulted in possible harm to members and definite damage to OUR RANGE. Going forward: THESE RULES WILL BE READ AT EVERY MEETING. The GHR&PC Board agreed to implement a special paper punch for each Club Member’s membership card when they attend a meeting. If you have a punched membership card, you may renew your 2024 membership at the monthly meeting or via USPS mail by sending your current punched membership card, a completed “B” form and your dues. If you have lost your card, it can be replaced for free at the meeting and punched at the same time, or you may have a replacement membership card mailed to you for a $5.00 fee, but you will still need to attend a meeting to get your membership card punched. The Executive Board will require members to attend at least 1 meeting annually. We recognize that some members will be exempt from this rule. Members with disabilities, medical conditions, members that live out of county or state and members that rely on others to bring them to the range. To request an exemption referencing the above situations: Please send an email to the Gun Club with “Exemption” in the subject line. Give us a brief explanation of why you are asking for the exemption. PLEASE KNOW WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR YOUR PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION. This process requires you to be “On Your Honor” to request consideration. The Exemption Request will be reviewed by the committee on a case-by-case basis. We will respond via email with our decision. We want to accommodate those members truly in need. Thank you, GHRPC Board of Directors November 21, 2023 Guest Speaker: Grays Harbor County Commissioner Vickie Raines.

Range Closed
| (8/3/2023)Hello GHRPC Members. The lower range will be closed for a few hours 10am to 1pm Saturday Aug 5th for needed maintenance. Upper range will remain open. Thank You Riley Morris |
(8/1/2023) – RANGE POLICY UPDATE
Good afternoon members of the GHRPC
Please note: Necessary policy changes to take effect immediately.
Recently, July 23rd, we had volunteers perform work on the upper range. We increased the size of the 50-yard berm, dug post holes and rebuilt the target board holders and boards that were shot out last year by some knuckle heads.
Today, I was contacted by a member informing me that someone had placed several 45 caliber shots into the new 4X4’s holding the plywood. The empty brass lying on the ground just several feet from the post. One shot I can understand but when there are several, it’s vandalism.
Three weeks ago, I noticed that someone, who was shooting from inside the range from the shooting windows, had shot several holes through one of the shooting tables on the outside slab. Almost destroying it. This also is vandalism.
Over the last 12 years, volunteers have spent countless weeks rebuilding the range into something the members can be proud to belong to and enjoy. The vandalism has got to stop!
You may have noticed the new camera system that is installed in the range. These are not dummy cameras. They record all the time anyone is in view. They were not put there to spy on you, but to see if someone is destroying the range.
At the GHR&PC monthly membership meetings Roy and I mention several times during each meeting that if you accidentally damage something and we are notified, we will just fix it and there is no problem. If we find damage, then it’s considered an act of vandalism.
Now to the policy changes:
Shooters will no longer be allowed to shoot across any bench or table other than the one they are using. I know this will be a problem with the far right shooting station in the indoor range. That spot will be acceptable.
If you are caught, either by camera or in person, shooting across a table, a range officer will ask you, either at the range or residence, to forfeit your key and card and be banned from the club forever. If you wish to contest this action, the officers will hold a special board meeting for you to state your case.
These measures apply to any act of vandalism.
The second policy change is that ALL members must attend at least one meeting a year before being allowed to renew their membership. There is always a sign in sheet at our meetings. Before renewing, you will be asked which meeting you attended? You must remember because we will not look it up for you.
The officers are sorry to implement these policy changes. Most of our members are trustworthy, but there are a few trying to destroy our range.
Thank you for your adherence to these updated policies.
Riley Morris
President

Hello GHRPC Members and families.
Good afternoon. Over the years I have been asked if the gun club could have an annual club picnic. I met with the officers earlier this month to try and find a date where there’s not a holiday to interrupt us and we decided to give it a try.
Our First Annual (*tentative) GHRPC members and family Picnic will be held on:
Sunday, July 16th.
1pm to 4pm. serving food until its gone
Menu includes: Hamburgers, Hotdogs, Kielbasa Sausage, Corn on the cobb, potato salad and soft drinks and water. If you wish to bring an item, you’re more than welcome to.
*The 1st Annual GHR&PC Picnic will determine if we will hold a 2nd Annual GHR&PC Picnic. Member turnout is the key to this decision.
The lower ranges will be closed from 10am to 5pm for this event on July 16th.
Upper Range will be closed from 9:30 to noon for scheduled Trap Shoot
Respectfully,
Riley Morris
Indoor Range CLOSED
On Friday, June 30th, 2023 the Indoor Range will be closed from 9am to 6pm for maintenance. This IS NOT a work party. The rest of the range will be open as normal.
