PRACTICE ROUND PRICE - Practice round prices will remain the same.
FINANCIAL STATUS - February was a very good month since the Club threw almost twice as many targets as February 2008 so it was really good financially.
There were two major expenses for the month: $1,100 for Workmen's Comp Insurance and the lease payment of $1,500.
TRAP OPERATIONS - The Club threw 1,075 practice rounds in February which was significantly more than the 591 rounds in Feb 2008 and 291 rounds in Feb 2007.
The weather cooperated with cold, but sunny days.
Target costs were $2,325 in February.
- The heater in Trap 3 seems to be solving the problems with the trap.
