Wait list - Clear Creek Shooting Club

[F. Paul]

Does anyone have any idea how long the waiting list is for new members??

Thanks

Might not be any wait.
There are a few members that quit this year, and the list wasn't very long.

Well dont leave the newbie hanging there pickenup - what legal rights??

I'd love to get the scoop on what's goin on there

The old board got scared to death by a "NRA attorney" who coincidentally got retained by them. He apparently had them thinking that the club could easily be sued out of existence by relatives of someone killed or injured in a careless accident. He also told them that they could be individually held liable. Scared the bejezus out of them.

So they required that all renewals have an indemnification signed. It includes a consent to medical treatment if incapacitated.

If you ask me, probably some of it is justified. But lawyers have a way of giving self-serving advice that, suprise!, requires lots of lawyering time and expense to "protect" the club, members, officers and board.

We had a somewhat contentious fight over a modification in the bylaws that many felt was unnecessary. The result was that nothing got passed and a few officers and board members lost their reelection bids. Alan a.k.a. bluker1 is back on the board now.

The county owns the land and could pull the lease with 30 days notice. Many feel we need to run a range acquisition fund in case they ever decide to use it for some other purpose. Time will tell.

Get your application in soon, and you may be able to join the “club” without too much of a wait.
