Lower Merion Rod and Gun Club

Unfortunately due to the expected weather, the 1st annual Sportsmen’s Flea Market is being canceled. This is our second try and the rain hasn’t been in our favor.

A new date has not been decided on although it appears that we might try again later this summer or early fall. Please keep checking our website for updates, along with the club’s email list and FaceBook page.

THX to those who helped organized this event and those who “stuck it out” that rainy date of 5/7. The event has the potential to be a great fundraiser for the club, along with providing a great opportunity for all to participate, whether you are swapping, buying, or selling your sporting equipment.

The Lower Merion Rod and Gun Club 2016 Memorial Shoot this year will be honoring Harry Keller who passed away suddenly this past January. Harry was an integral part of the success of the Club and is sorely missed by all.

In Honoring Harry, proceeds from this year’s shoot will help fund the Club’s initiative to build a structure on club grounds to be known as the Keller Pavilion.

Specifics of the shoot are:

> 100 Bird Shoot
> 3 Classes of competition (Lewis)
> $100 prize for each class
> Ties will be shot off
> Sign-ups close at 2:30P
> Entry Fee – $30

The Shoot is open to all – members and guests.

We hope to see everyone there.
