CLINTON FISH AND GAME CLUB NEWSLETTER MARCH 2007 - CLUB NEWS AND EVENTS
Come on Spring Spring is almost here and the snow is melting FAST. April 21st and 28th are Spring Clean Up Days. Bring a rake, a pair of gloves and a willingness to work. The club grounds always need a good sprucing up come spring. If everyone helps a little the work goes faster. We have a dedicated core group of people who always help out. It would be nice to see some new faces come and help with the general work.
Sporting Clays: The sporting clays season has gotten of to a great start. Shooting in the woods, during the winter has produced some great courses and the shooters are coming out in force to enjoy everything it has to offer.	Skeet: Sunday skeet is growing each week. The skeet fields are busy as ever and all three fields are being used as much as possible. See the events list below for an up and coming skeet camp we will be hosting.
5-Stand - Still the best 5-stand course in the area. Great targets, challenging with a big variety of targets and three different levels to the game. A great game for all levels of shooters. Don't miss out on this great game.	Trap: Still a favorite among a lot of us. With the different games that can be played from regular trap to scrap trap (shooting trap from the skeet pads) there is a lot of fun to be had with this old favorite. Started shooting some partners trap, if you don't know what it is come out and watch. Hint; you need a partner on your team to shoot it.
Club House Combination: Due to problems with access to the club house the combination to the door has been changed. The board of directors has also decided that the combination is not to be given out to the general membership. If you need access to the club house for any reason please contact a board member.	Tenant: Jerry Rubitski our long time tenant to the old club house has moved out. A work crew is now involved in clean up, repair and then the job of finding a new tenant. (May already have that last issue covered). If you can help out with painting, wall paper or just lend us a hand, give the club a call or stop by and let us know.
