Membership Dues:
With the cost
of our lease and rental approaching $14,000.00, it was necessary to increase
the membership dues, the increase will still leave the club in a deficit
situation, but it is hoped with some new fund raising initiatives that we
will be able to stay in the black for the next year, the new dues are:
Single Member
- $160.00
Couples -
$240.00
Family - $280
(3 or more)

The club is now
officially shooting indoors, we are there every Saturday 9 AM - 1 PM,
Tuesday and Thursday evenings 7 - 9 PM, you should check the website (http://www.victoriabowmen.com)
