Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO SHOOT?

The Northern Virginia Gun Club (NVGC) will have its annual Club Picnic / Swap Meet / Bring-A-Friend(s) Day on Saturday, August 27, 2011, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Members who have friends, neighbors, family, or coworkers who are looking for a place to shoot should have them come by and meet other shooters, sight in their rifles, or just get a chance to shoot and have lunch on us. The Rifle/Pistol, Skeet/Trap, and Archery ranges will be open for prospective members to use, and membership info packets will be available. (Per club policy, any prospective member must be sponsored by a current club member). So bring your guns and/or bows and come hungry!

From Virginia:
*Take I-95 toward Fredericksburg.
*Get off at Bus. Rt. 17 East Falmouth, (exit 133A going south, and 133 going North).

Email (rick-at-vgof.net) or PM me if you're interested in attending and interested in membership.

I am interested and plan to be there.

I would like to attend also.

Is there a rain plan, just in case Hurricane Irene makes it up the coast faster than NOAA predicts?

No rain plan that I'm aware of.

Also, I may not be able to make it, but I spoke with the club officers at our meeting last Saturday and they indicated that anyone is welcome to the Open House even if not escorted. Anyone from the forum that decides to join up, let me know, as you'll need me (or someone) to sponsor you into the club.

UPDATE - due to Hurricane Irene, the Open House has been rescheduled for 10 September 2011. This thread is being locked and I will start another one with the correct date. Please update your calendars!
