Busy Times

We are receiving a large number of new memberships. New members are always welcome, if you have questions about our club please check the FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Due to the interest in our club it may take more than two weeks to return emails and process membership letters through email. Mail-in membership can still take more than four weeks.

Please be patient, we will answer everyone in turn.

Range 4 (Hangun Club) Lock

We’ve had to replace the lock on the Range 4 gate with a more durable model. THE COMBINATION HAS NOT CHANGED, however you must now line up the numbers in the middle. There is a mark on the lock to indicate this, see the picture below.

Membership Update

New membership applications are being accepted on our website. Online membership is instant, mail in membership can take more than four weeks to process.

Due to the extremely high volume of membership sales we are a bit overwhelmed with email. Our club volunteer is working to respond to emails but it may take more than seven days to respond.

We ask that members remain patient, we are doing our best to catch up!

Lyme Disease Awareness Month

The presence of Lyme disease is increasing in Manitoba and black legged ticks have been recorded in the area around the club.

Some simple precautions include wearing insect repellent with DEET, long pants and socks and staying out of tall grass. For more information about ticks & tick borne disease check out the following resources:
