Pomeroy Gun Club wound down their Winter League season with an Awards Day, Pot luck, Barbeque, and annual business meeting at the Pataha range on Sunday March 29th. Overcast but reasonably pleasant weather made it a nice day for shooting and playing games.
While the youth shooters played games on one Trap the adults shot 50 singles Targets on the other Field. The A class competition ended with Brodie Magill breaking 49 of the 50 targets and Larry Bunch took the B class also with a 49. Mitch McGreevy won C class with a score of 45 and Lee Blachly captured D class with a 46.
After lunch of Barbecued Hamburgers, Hot dogs and Pot Luck dishes galore the Club had their annual awards at their business meeting. The awards were for the Club competition over the 10 week season. For the High All Around in the youth division the 12 year old and under winner was Blake Warren, in the Sub Junior class Luke Collier was Champion.

Pomeroy Gun Club wishes to thank the East Washingtonian for allowing us the space to report our Season and it has been my pleasure as reporter to write the Articles weekly for the publication once produced by my Father.
On another note, we will not be hosting a Baseball team from the NAIA World Series. New management at CCI/Speer had decided not to sponsor this year with Dr. Eggleston so they are going to go a different direction entertaining the team.
