Ive been checking but no luck
Contact someone on their BoD?
LMAO most of those BoD's don't even know what "e-mail" is. I would have been more optimistic before John's resignation, but now..... Who knows, you guys might luck out

You might be right. No email reply i called them and ghey said they are having some issues with insurance hence they might not be doing open house this year.
Wow, I just heard! Absolutely insane. First time in 16 years that there won't be an open house! I had to call John Evers to confirm, I couldn't believe it. We had a long chat so was nice to catch up with old friends. What I heard though was absolutely terrible. Hopefully John can go back and fix everything (again). Just wow

I've been going for a few years now and was really looking forward to it.

Haha yup! Sucks! I was pretty stoked!
The gun range is owned only by a board of directors. That BOD that went "insane". There was no single person able to stop them. The open house getting canceled is just the start of the fallout. That's about all I'm at liberty to say.

Sorry guys, I've been absent lately because of a basement reno but I'll clarify a few things.
Firstly, it was a member who proposed cancelling the open house this year. The decision was made by the membership, not the BoD. The root causes stemmed primarily from insurance concerns and there were issues about who would supply the guys. Unfortunately the wear and tear on firearms through this event is huge, and everyone is awfully concerned about liability these days. Even if the event could have gone on this year, there was a secondary concern that it wouldn't be as well run because of various logistical concerns.
I wasn't on the Open House committee, but my understanding is the event will be returning next year after these issues have been resolved. There was some drama with the prior BoD and the new BoD (elected in march) didn't seem to have enough time to resolve things. For a period of time, there was some significant issues (outside of the open house) that needed to be addressed.
I won't go into much detail, but i think we are on good footing now and we seem to have an effective BoD in place. Running a not-for-profit can be tricky and political at times, and sometimes things break down. I'm sure the club appreciates your understanding. The group from GTA motorcycle is one of the larger groups that show up all together, its great to see new and old people coming out and shooting some guns.
