Renewal In August – Workday – Double Locks

August is a busy month for sure and your Texarkana Gun Club is ready, are you?

Membership Renewal: Tuesday, August 27

If… we have your correct address then you should have your renewal card by now. If you have not received the card, please fill out a member information update form, the same thing for new addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.

Doors open at 5, we have to be out of there by 7 PM.

If you need to renew by mail, be sure to tape your old key between two pieces of a cereal box in the envelope so it won’t punch through and get lost, which would cause you not to get a key returned to you. These keys are expensive and many do not make it back to us.

If you can’t make renewal night, please send someone to take care of it. It doesn’t take that long and it will help us speed up a process that sometimes drags on for months.

What To Bring Tuesday:
If you are going to renew your membership in person, please bring:

• Your old key
• Proof of current NRA membership
• Cash/check for renewal
• Address change if needed
• Renewal fees are $100.

If you have participated in range cleanup, repairs, match setups and/or breakdowns, then your fee is reduced to $75… and we thank you very much for your help.

Double-Lock System:

For new members and as a reminder to the rest, the double-locking system is once again in place at the gun club gates. It looks a little different this year, but it works. Please leave the locks as you see them in the photo or else some members will not be able to get into the club. There have been cases where someone was inside the gate and locked in, it happens every year.

Range Work Day

There are 5 Saturdays in August, therefore we are scheduling a range work-day on Saturday, August 31. We will start early (7 AM) so we can get out of there before it gets too hot. As you may or may not know, we try to schedule a range work/clean-up whenever there is a month with a 5th Saturday when there are no matches taking place.

What to bring?

• Gloves
• yard tools
• water

These are generally slash, trim, and burn fests, cleaning up berms, etc. If it’s too hot and dry to burn, we will just pile it up and wait for moister weather.

If there is a small project you have been wanting to do or see done, these are the perfect times to jump in there and get it done. Let Doug Rochelle (903-278-6757) know what your plans are, just remember, it’s hot, and we want to be done before noon.

Happy August TGC Members!
