Notice of Special Election at the April Monthly Meeting

LSC Treasurer Tim Beausoleil has resigned from his board position, effective as soon as a replacement can be elected. To expedite this process, there will be a special election at the April 2017 regular monthly meeting to elect someone to finish out the current term, which expires in December 2017.

The Nominating Committee is putting forth the slate of Ken Kedaras for this position. Additional nominations from the floor will be accepted before the election during the April meeting, for anyone who is eligible to run for a board position.

Please make a point of attending the meeting on April 11th to cast your vote. Also, please join the Board of Directors in thanking Tim Beausoleil for his many years of service and dedication to the club.

Public Trap Opens March 12, 2017

The Trap Field officially opens for the season starting on Sunday, March 12, 2017, at 1pm. Public Trap at LSC is open, weather-permitting, at the following times:

  • Sundays at 1pm
  • Wednesdays at 10am

The Trap Committee also occasionally opens the field at other times. To be notified of these additional opportunities to shoot, send a message to trap@lowellsc.org and you will be added to the Trap Field email notification list.

These times are a great way to try out trap if you’ve never shot before, and the range officer on duty is always willing to give explanations or instruction to new shooters. It’s also a good time to meet members of LSC’s Greater Lowell Trap League teams – if you’re interested in joining one of the teams, come out to the field and let us know!

Please Note: the Skeet Field is also open Sundays at 1pm and Wednesdays at 10am (and Thursdays at 6:30 in the summer).

The Pond is Open for 2017!

Now that colder weather has set in and the pond is frozen, it’s open to members for ice fishing.

Please Note: The Pond Committee asked that people stay away from both the inflow and outflow areas however, as the ice there is still unsafe.

Remember, fishing at the pond is limited to members who have purchased a fishing button ($20). 2017 fishing buttons are available from any Pond Committee member, and at all regular meetings. Please see John Lemasurier, John Abbott, Bill Potter, Doug Perry, Jim Martin, or Matt Franco to purchase a button.

The Pond Committee will also be hosting various fishing events this year – get your tackle ready and come on down!

For more information on fishing events, or if you are interested in getting involved, please contact the Pond Committee.

Trap shooting for the winter 2016-17 and beyond

We have started an email communication program for the Wednesday morning trap group for the winter months. All participants check in with each other on Tuesday to verify if we will be shooting Wednesday morning.

If anyone would like to join the group please contact John Siljander at jsiljander@comcast.net

Sunday trap has been suspended until spring because of low participation.

We will be looking for people to participate in the trap league for the 2017 season. A meeting date will be announced for a February meeting. All interested parties are invited to attend.

Those who have not participated in trap and are interested in trying it will be very welcome.
