WPPL Pistol Team – Gary Gibson. The 2021-2022 season WPPL practice and competition started again on 8 September 2021. The League is travelling to other clubs for competition and other clubs are travelling to compete at CGC. See the schedule posted on the Club Bulleting Board to determine which Wednesday evenings have William Penn Pistol League activities at CGC.

Trustees Report – Phil Dyche. The range cleanup day scheduled for Saturday 25 September 2021 was cancelled because of unavailability of key Club members. The range cleanup day will be rescheduled.

Gary Gibson noted that the range backstop is in need of repair. He also noted that other clubs have range bullet traps that deflect bullets upwards to a second, horizontal plate that traps bullets for gravity drop to the bottom of the bullet trap. No remove bullets/led, simply shovel from the bottom of the trap. Discussion included the fact that previous structural assessments of the CGC range do not allow for additional weight to be suspended from the CGC ceiling without significant reinforcement. Discussion led to consensus to re-examine range bullet trap options. ACTION ITEM: Range management.

Old Business Gary Gibson mentioned the lack of a functioning soda machine. Discussion led to understanding that the current soda machine is inoperative and is not able to be repaired. Consensus recommendation was to dispose of the current soda machine and to examine feasibility of purchasing a refrigerator to be stocked with sodas for sale on an honor basis. ACTION ITEM: Range Management.
