Interested members please contact Dick Striano at 781-749-7271 or email Dick.
We did more publicity this year for the junior program by contacting several scout troops and Weymouth Rec. Dept. We are expecting a large turn out, about 60 already. Volunteer instructors are needed. Contact Dick Striano at 781-749-7271 or email Dick.
Membership Update
We currently have about 325 members. One third of our gross revenue goes to pay taxes alone. The executive board is still working on tax exempt status through a hired attorney. All members of the executive board pay the same membership dues as all members. There are no exceptions and no lifetime members as in the past. The membership most likely will be capped at 400.
Brass in the range
Someone recently took about 1/3 of a bucket of brass from the range. We sell this brass and use the money for the junior program. Please do not take any of the brass from the range. Members are welcome to take back their own brass but not from the bucket. We will be securing the brass now as a result of this.
Committee’s are being organized
Dave Francis is organizing the volunteers. A large sign up poster has been put up at the club for members to sign up for a committee. The committees listed are mainenance, range, events and membership. Dave will be contacting members who have signed up by the middle of September. Committee chairs can report to the executive board at the monthly meeting just prior to the general meetings or submit a report. If you have not signed up on the bulletin board and are interested in volunteering please email Dave or call 617-750-8198.

Locker Fees
Just a reminder, locker fees are due again. Send the money in along with your membership dues. Invoices will be sent out soon.
Reminder To Instructors
Please remember there is a donation of $25 per student which must be paid to the club at the time of training. Checks may be left in the guest or locker boxes, or under the office door. In the event that an instructor chooses to do the verbal part of the course outside of the club and train in the range the donation of $25 still applies. Students are not guests. This money helps support the club.
Also please note: Instructors must mark the date and time of the class on the instructor calendar located on the door to the back room on the first floor.
Recent Disciplinary Situations
To all members: There have been a couple of disciplinary situations in the past month. The club’s rules and regulations have been created so that each and every member shall enjoy access to, and use the clubhouse and grounds in a safe and secure environment. Member use and conduct should not interfere with other members and/or any organized event approved by the executive board. Any violation of club rules may result in the revocation of club membership. Please review club rules. We are a member driven organization. This is how we keep costs down and enjoy the use of a club that gives back to us what we give to the club.
- If a member would like to borrow something from the club for use outside of the club, or hold a special event, please contact a member of the executive board prior to doing so.
- If a member sees another member violating any of the rules, please note the date and time and either email info@weymouthsportsmensclub.com or call any member of the executive board.
Bow Hunting
Bow hunting on the property was discussed at the general meeting. This will be discussed at the next executive board. Bow hunting is something that has been for members only. Too many hunters make it unsafe. Rules to follow. Please contact a member of the executive board if you are interested in bow hunting on the property. Private – No Hunting signs need to be posted on the property.
