OLD BUSINESS

A discussion of the 2000 state shoot ensued with those present lauding Pelham for their efforts in hosting a most enjoyable tournament. The only criticism came with regard to the availability of trap personnel. The club acknowledged the problem and explained the difficulty in getting enough people to man the fields. The club made it known that every effort is made to put the best quality people in the chairs but in this labor market that can be a real challenge. They promised to make every effort to provide good quality people for every shoot.

With Richard Conner moving to California the web site has ceased being updated.
