4: Proposed bylaw change would allow monthly changes to range scheduling procedures.  This change will be voted on at the December meeting.

4:  New Business

1:  There is a conflict between the Cowboy and the 50 cal. Shooters.  We suggest that these two clubs try and resolve the conflict.  If they can’t work it out, then this issue will be brought back to the Board.

2:  Safety Officer needs to review this request.  There is no conflict with the range schedule.  This request will be reviewed at the November meeting.

3:  Al Gemson discussed issues regarding the range that he is hearing from other TRC members.  Al is a long time club member and a frequent shooter at the range.  He reports that many members have no knowledge of the range scheduling procedures and rules.  How can we avoid the anger and frustration of members who are unable to use certain ranges when they come out to the club?  Suggestions include giving members a copy of range rule and reservation procedures when they renew their membership.  The TRC message machine needs to be updated.  We need to emphasize use of the TRC website.

4:  As soon as TOPD pays last years bills, we will consider future requests.

5:  Mr. Kreig spoke regarding range rules.  Many people do not understand the range rules.  He gave examples.  TRC needs to improve procedures for dealing with safety violations.  TRC needs more precise cease fire rules.  We will post cease fire rules on each range.

Meeting adjourned at 1957h.
