VISITOR / FAMILY DAY AT SVPSL bySteve B - SVPSL Club President
Congratulations to all the
members that helped with the juniors and the parents / guardians that
attended the club
We were expecting between 30
to 35 young people and when I was told on Saturday morning at 9 am that
there was 65 possibly 75 coming, it was to say the least a bit of a shock.
As usual the members that were
there took on the challenge in true Southern Vales style, to
individually oversee each participant and the day was an over whelming
success.
All the juniors and
parents who attended had several opportunities to try their hand at
target shooting with .22 rifles. Then most chose to try some center fire
rifles with most of the younger people taking up the offer and enjoying
the challenge of experiencing the larger calibers.
The day ended with many of the
visitors trying race guns, standard guns as well as production guns
all conducted under the supervision of SVPSL Members who volunteered
their time.
It was extremely pleasing
having many of the parents come to me and congratulate SVPSL Members and
the Executive on the professional way that we conducted the day.
Some of the
comments the parents made were,
"Extremely Safe"
,"Friendly people",
"Professional attitude",
"Family friendly",
"Well organized",
"Great facility" .
The day's experience saw all
the visitors leaving with a smile on their face with several asking for
membership information and forms.
Activities like this go a long
way to educate others in the community that have not had anything to do
with a Firearms Club and or a member of a firearms club. I am sure that
these young people their parents / Guardians will be able to give a
positive response the next time that someone asks them about gun clubs and
or their members.
Once again Congratulations to
all those who helped and thanks to those members who donated their
sporting guns and equipment on the day, especially the Glock Shop who
donated targets and ammunition.
PS Thanks also to Darren Arthur who donated 2 very large boxes of huge lolly pops that each visitor received as a gift at the end of the day.
