External repairs are needed on the Longbranch, and will be ongoing for the next few weeks. 

During this time construction materials may be stored in the Longbranch and we would ask that you do not move them. 

Starting this week - primed and painted clapboard will be put in the Longbranch to dry before use. 

The Longbranch will remain open but there will be limited seating area. 

Access may become limited as we repair the front wall. Members may always sign in at the main clubhouse. Note that ranges B and C are open for use during the construction period.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
