Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Please check our list of upcoming events. If you have any questions please contact us at the Lafayette Gun Club - 757-898-8854

May I use the range facilities by paying a one-time or daily fee?
No. Lafayette Gun Club is a private club, and the facilities are open to members only. Membership information is available on the club web site: www.lafayettegunclub.com.

Are family memberships available?
There are no family memberships. A new spousal membership is available at $45, to include the $25 annual fee and $20 refundable deposit for the access card. The annual fee is $25; no prorate for the second year. This allows use of the club facilities, but no additional voting privilege. Members may allow a minor child to use the range facilities as a guest. Members are responsible for the direct supervision of guests who use the club facilities and are responsible to ensure compliance with all range rules and club rules.

Who makes decisions for the LGC?
Major LGC decisions are made by the Board of Directors, elected according the ByLaws, in conjunction with the annual meeting held each year in June. Business operations are managed by our Administration Manager.

Who are the LGC?s Directors and how can I contact them?
The names and contact information for the LGC?s Directors are posted in the clubhouse and are also available on the web site, www.lafayettegunclub.com. The LGC?s Board of Directors are unpaid volunteers and are receptive to questions and comments from the LGC?s members.

May I attend meetings of the Board of Directors?
Yes, club members are welcome to attend the Board of Directors meetings, held at the clubhouse each month. Meeting times are posted in the Quarterly Bulletin.

When are the facilities going to be improved? Some of the buildings and facilities are in need of repair.
We are currently working as quickly as possible to develop a strategic capital improvement plan (for new facilities) and a Capital Reserve/Replacement plan (to repair and replace existing facilities). We have already contracted (in May, 2010) with professionals to conduct a Capital Reserve Study that will define the funds required to be placed into Capital Reserve/Replacement fund to be used for maintaining and replacing the LCG?s facilities over many years. When the Capital Reserve Study is completed (anticipated by August 2010), the Board of Directors will allocate money to be placed into the Capital Reserve Fund and then will prioritize, fund and undertake maintenance projects. The Board of Directors will solicit comments and suggestions from club members to prioritize and direct these projects.

How can I make suggestions to the Board of Directors?
Please complete the contact form. We welcome your comments and suggestions. We hope to have a similar comment/suggestion section available on the web site soon. You may also send emails directly to the directors -- email addresses are provided on the website. Please remember that the directors are unpaid volunteers and responses may not be immediate, but we?ll do our best.
