Georgetown Fish and Game

[MXD]

I was formerly a member of Mass Rifle but about a year ago my family and I moved to Boxford so I let me membership lapse as it was too far to go. Georgetown, at the time, was closed for new members. I just looked today and saw they are now open. I printed off the application and filled it out. However, I don't know anyone who is a member there and the app says sponsor/references. Am I reading it correctly that it can be references OR sponsors or some combo of both and I don't need a sponsor? A sponsor would be tough since I am new to the area and I don't know anyone who is a member there.

Thank you

Jim Wallace and State Rep Lenny Mirra spoke at the Membership meeting on Monday. It was my first time hearing Jim speak in person. Very glad we have someone like Jim on our side. And Rep Mirra is also a great guy and friend to our cause. He's my Rep so I have corresponded with him quite a bit in the past. Listening to what they had to say, I came away both more angry but ultimately a bit more hopeful about our prospects. The anger part comes from getting further confirmation about the cesspool that is Beacon Hill politics. The hope comes in knowing that there are great people working to correct this, though it's going to be a long and slow process unfortunately.

I have printed off an application and will be attending the next meeting in hopes of joining. I have references but no sponsor as I do not know any members, will that be an issue? Also, does anyone know if it would be possible for me to take a tour before applying?

If you want to become a member at the next meeting, your application needs to be in before the BoD meeting, which is the Monday before the regular meeting. The BoD reviews all applications before they can be brought up at the general meeting.
Trap is open to the public Sundays at 1:00 and Wednesdays at 6:30.
PM me and I can show you around some time too.

I have emailed every officer listed on the website about my application with a question - zero response in almost a month. Not impressed. please do not cash my check, I will be looking elsewhere.

Last meeting I attended they talked about closing membership for being full. The website says "currently closed to new members"

Had everything filled out and sent in prior... still exactly zero reply from anyone listed as officers on the website after multiple inquiries. Common courtesy to simply reply??
Was referred to join by a prominent member of GF&G and local LEO - he did warn me however they are not very responsive. Just saved a couple hundred bucks... no worries.

Some mushy headed thinking at that club: "Human silhouette targets must have the head folded down" (from http://www.georgetownfishandgame.com/ranges)
