Range Day is scheduled for Sunday 11 April.
Thank you for volunteering your labor for the first of two Range Days scheduled for 2021.
Those of you with Range Day experience will find the format similar to previous years.
If you are a first timer, it goes something like this:
Hours: 0800 - 1200 for Range Badge Credit (2022)
0630: Begin donation breakfast at Memorial Hall
1215: Begin donation lunch at Memorial Hall
Range reopens at 1200.
ADMIN:
To receive Range Day credit for your AGC Range Badge you must register at Memorial Hall.
FYI: Know your Range Badge number.
Typically, you will receive no more than four hours credit.
Donations for eats are appreciated (thank you).
Parking could be scarce so choose your parking considering work vehicles will be in the area all morning.
If it is wet, care on grass surfaces please. Dress for the weather. Work areas could be overgrown so wear protective lengths. Gloves and eye protection are recommended.
If you have tools suitable for yard work, please bring along weed whackers, loppers, chain saws, shears or heavy-duty yard rakes for use or loan. Make sure to mark the loaners so they are properly returned.
