Clubhouse Project Update

Central Okanagan Shotgun Sports Club executive members Pat Bare, Bob Larue and Greg Burgess laying out phase 1 of our new clubhouse. We now have our building permit and expect to be digging the footings in the next couple of weeks once. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to complete Phase I. To date we have raised $8,400 through the generous donations of some of our members. A list of donors so far is available here. To make your donation please contact Pat Bare at pat.bare@yahoo.com Phase I designs are shown below.

We would also like to thank Trevor Beatty of Jenish House Design, Tyler Smith of Cascade Geotechnical and Mahdi Yazdinezhad of ROV Engineering Consultants for design and engineering work.

2020 Clubhouse Fundraising

Thanks to Trevor Beatty of  Jenish House Design who completed the plans for our new clubhouse. To build it, our goal is to raise $20,000. Construction started min-June and we hope to have the roof on before the snow flies.

Once Phase 1 is complete, in recognition of all donations, we will place a plaque in the club house listing donors in each of the 4 different categories:

                                    Platinum          for over           $1000.00

                                    Gold                for over            $750.00

                                    Silver              for over           $500.00

                                    Bronze             for over           $250.00

                                    Along with all other donators

So far, we have raised $6,375 plus $ 2,575 coming from the survey account.

New Look for COSSC

Today we finished up the SeaCan painting project. Thanks to Pat and John for prep work and grinding the rust and to Sheldon Olynyk (a new member this year) for the handiwork with the spray gun. Thanks to Paolo for the use of the spray gun. We got her done before the rain came today and here are a couple of pics. Some of the pics have some rain on the lense. Come up Saturday and see them in the sunshine.

Central Okanagan Shotgun Sports Club – #3 Trap ready to go

Dig a hole – add some beams – March 2019
trap field construction
building frames for trap walkways
fill in the crush
finish the roof
#3 Trap ready to go, lifting struts and all

Paolo, John and Pat  shot 4 rounds on the #3 trap and it worked great. So # 3 is ready to use as needed.

Thanks to all who, over the last year (yes we dug the hole in March of 2019) contributed to get this field ready to go. Some fine tuning needed on the field but you have to come up and see how #3 shoots.
