The following COVID-19 guidelines must be followed by all club members and their guests while on club property.  Failure to follow these guidelines could result in club members (and their guests) being asked to leave the property.  Multiple failures to follow these guidelines could result in a formal inquiry by the Board of Trustees.

These guidelines are in effect until further notice.

• Face coverings must be worn at all times while indoors. This includes the club house, ready room, indoor range, big bore range and shooting ports. Face coverings are required for the outdoor archery range when social distancing is not feasible. Only exceptions are when doing so would inhibit an individual's health.
• Maintain CDC "social distancing" recommendations at all times.
• A maximum of 7 individuals are allowed in the indoor range at the same time.
• A combined maximum of 15 individuals are allowed in the main indoor facility at the same time. This includes the club house, ready room, and indoor range.

• The club house kitchen will be closed and is off-limits.
• Use the provided club sanitizers to clean your hands and any surfaces that have been touched.

As of this past week, construction has been allowed to resume (after it had been put on hold for several weeks by the governor) with modifications in place to meet CDC and state health guidelines.

The remaining work time-frame, under normal conditions, would only be a couple more weeks. However, with the current health-crisis guidelines, restrictions, and all construction and utilities just starting up again it is just not possible to give you an exact date of total completion.

With the Governors announcement this afternoon, the SCFGPA will be shutting down today, March 21st., at 9 pm.

All club facilities, all ranges, and club property will be CLOSED to all visits, meetings, and social gatherings.

The April General meeting and Workday are also cancelled at this time. State Federation meeting may also be cancelled. We hope for a quick resolution and will open when allowed by the authorities. The E-board will continue to meet via tele-conference to maintain construction plans and business. Stay healthy and stay home.

President Rinaldi reports, "All scheduled work proposed back in September when we closed the range has been completed on time. Every step of the cleaning, de-construction, and now construction has been running smoothly and we have been successfully hitting our proposed time schedule.

As was expected back in September, any possible delays due to unexpected weather issues or construction issues are always a possibility, but as we have not met any yet we are hopeful our good luck will continue into December. Once the range’s roof itself is replaced and the range enclosed, all weather issues are a moot point.

I will keep you posted again in January of the construction progress. I know many of you look to the website for a re-opening date. Once we have a hard date it will be posted ."

The lead remediation has been completed. All clubhouse furnishings have been cleaned and returned back inside. The clubhouse building, kitchen, and bathrooms may now be accessed by all members. The swipe card system locks are now active.

Please keep in mind that the clubhouse may be closed again either during construction hours or when the construction timeline calls for the building to remain closed.

-The indoor firing range is closed.

Archery and Big Bore remain open at this time.

Lead cleanup at the range is set to begin today. During this time, the clubhouse and indoor range are closed to all members and activities. The Archery and Big-bore remain open at this time. Please be sure to park near those facilities.

Demolition and construction are set to begin after the range has been certified clean. This schedule will affect clubhouse operating hours. We will advise the times that the club house will be open in a future communication.

Monthly workdays are still scheduled and are subject to change at this time. There may be a few mid week work days offered during the construction period. Please watch for emails.
