September 2024
Hello to all Williamstown Fish and Game Club members!
This newsletter marks the beginning of the fall hunting seasons! Early bear and gray squirrel kicked off September 1st with more to follow as the month wears on followed closely by the start of the whitetail deer seasons in October. The colder nights have certainly gotten the animals up and moving by my house.
This is the last meeting of the year! This year has flown by and seeing all of the progress on the clubhouse has been nothing short of amazing. The well will be drilled soon and a heating system installed shortly after that. A few more work days and it should be pretty well finished up. Every time I go to the club and see the clubhouse I can't help but think back to July 20th 2021 when I got the call about the fire. The way the community rallied around us will never be forgotten.
The Duck Race went off smoothly with all ducks dumped into the brook accounted for at the end. As always there were many that started the race that just could not finish it. The final tally of number of ducks sold and amount raised will be discussed at the meeting.
For the last time this year, see you at the meeting!

Hello to all Williamstown Fish and Game Club members!
This weekend was the clubs firearm and archery hunter safety courses. We lucked out with weather given what the reports were calling for earlier in the week. Both days were filled with lots of questions and learning for all involved. A huge thank you goes out to all the instructors for making this yet another great weekend. More importantly congratulations to all the new hunters amongst us!
The final piece of the puzzle for the club this year is the duck race. Tickets are still available and a date will be set at tomorrow nights meeting. Another email will be sent out with the date for the race.
For anyone that has not been up to the clubhouse recently, the building is almost unrecognizable. There are ceiling fans in place and lights get turned on by a light switch! I know that seems trivial but it is the first time that it has been like that. I am in awe every time I walk into the clubhouse.
See you at the meeting!

Hello to all Williamstown Fish and Game Club members!
Let's kick off this newsletter with a recap of the Joey Gingras Memorial Kids Fishing Derby. We had 18 kids registered with 26 fish cleaned and brought home for dinner. There were many that were caught and put back for another time. The largest trout caught was 16 inches! On behalf of the club a huge thank you goes out to Dan Beattie for once again graciously hosting us. This event is always amazing.
The sign ups for the firearm and archery hunter safety courses are on the state website and are open! As of the time I wrote this newsletter we already have 7 students registered for the firearms course and 6 for the archery course. Courses are August 10th for the firearms course and August 11th for the archery course.
Come one, come all and buy or sell (or both) duck race tickets! As always the grand prize is $1000. The date has not been set and will be dependent on the weather and the amount of water in the brook, but it is never too early to get tickets!
The process has started for getting the well drilled for the clubhouse!!!!!!!!! More and more things are coming together with the clubhouse and it has all of us VERY excited!
Hope to see you at the meeting!

Hello to all Williamstown Fish and Game Club members!
First and foremost there is a schedule change that needs to be announced. The Fishing Derby for this year has been moved from June 8th to June 1st. Location remains the same. Keep an eye out for a dedicated email about that as it draws closer.
The Big Game Raffle and Spring Gun Raffle are now in the rearview mirror, and both were very successful! We raffled off 3 guns in one night and ALL of the winners were there in person! The winner of the Big Game Raffle was also there in person so it was a very exciting night. We as a club can not thank the Elks Lodge enough for their gracious hospitality. Thank you to all members that bought or sold gun raffle tickets because this year was wildly successful. I have not heard a final tally on number of tickets sold yet but it might be one of our most successful raffles of all time.
If you are planning on attending the meeting on Wednesday and have a few extra minutes before the meeting kicks off please show up early and help clean up the grounds. As spring fades into summer we are going to be needing volunteers to help out with the grounds maintenance. The club provides all the fuel and equipment, all we are asking for is a little bit of your time. Any questions please reach out to me and I will be happy to answer all of your questions.
With May arriving that means that the fields and woods are alive with people trying their best to sound like a turkey and get their coveted birds. I have heard from several people that have had some success already. There is plenty of time left to find a bird of your own!
This meeting will hopefully bring a lot of discussion on the future of the clubhouse and the growing nearer completion of the rebuild, as well as everything else happening with the club this year. Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting!

Hello to all Williamstown Fish and Game Club members!
I hope everyone was able to enjoy some sense of sanity around the eclipse. My sister lives in Connecticut and came up for it. She viewed from Stowe and left there around 5 pm and at 10 pm she hadn't quite made it yet to Brattleboro, normally the entire drive is 4 hours!
On to club business! Gun raffle tickets are selling well and we still have plenty available so if you haven't gotten yours yet have no fear they are still available. The Big Game Raffle is coming up quickly and donations are still needed.
The idea of mud season has calmed down enough now to reopen the range. Thank you everyone for your understanding while it was shut down.
This very well might be our last ever meeting not held at the clubhouse!

Hello to all Williamstown Fish and Game Club members!
The flooring at the clubhouse has been completed! The crew from Barre Tile has worked tirelessly through sauna like conditions with heaters running in the building to get the flooring done, and on top of that battling the unforgiving mud. Huge thank you to all the professionals at Barre Tile!
Better late than never, the mailed newsletter has finally been sent out (my fault for the delay, life got in the way and I hadn't had a chance to make it happen), included with the newsletter is a renewal form as well as a couple of gun raffle tickets. You are not limited to the tickets that are in your mailing. If you need more or would like to sell some do not hesitate to reach out and we can arrange getting you some. The guns this year are drawing a lot of interest, don't miss out on your chance to be a part of this raffle! The guns this year are a Henry All Weather 45-70 or a CZ Upland Ultralight 12 gauge Over Under.
With winter making its comeback temporarily I am expecting a round 2 of mud season so a quick reminder that the range is still closed until further notice. There will be a separate email notifying of the range reopening.
The Big Game Raffle date has been set for April 27th at the Elks lodge in Barre. After a delicious meal and a smooth event last year the choice to return was not a hard one. If you had a ticket for the raffle last year be ready to get a call from a club officer or director to see if you are still interested in your ticket. If you did not have a ticket and are interested in one please reach out to an officer or director and we can get you onto a waiting list. More details on the raffle to follow in later newsletters. The grand prize this year is a rifle hunt for 2 with Poor Town Lodge in Ahoskie North Carolina. Ralph Gerrish and I had the pleasure of meeting the guide and outfitter this past weekend and can happily say that we are looking forward to a trip down there.
New memberships are available now. Gun raffle tickets are available as well and it is never too early to get some duck race tickets either!

Hello to all Williamstown Fish and Game Club members! I am not overjoyed about writing this, but the road up to the clubhouse/range as well as the driveway are not in good shape this mud season. It is worse than it normally is and in an attempt to minimize the damage and cost of repairs to the road and driveway we are closing the range until further notice. This is not a decision that is being made lightly and I hope that all of you understand why this is happening. If there are any questions please reach out and I will do my best to answer them. We do not have any estimate of when the road will be in better shape so we can only say that the range is closed until further notice. The forecast does show rain and warmer weather so hopefully the frost will come out of the ground and the road will dry out. There are people that live on that road and we do not need to be adding to the damage for our neighbors to deal with.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hello to all Williamstown Fish and Game Club members! Sorry for the late notice but this months meeting will be postponed a week from the scheduled time. See everyone next Wednesday the 21st at the Legion in Barre!
We have selected the guns for the spring gun raffle this year and I am pretty excited about it. The two options that the winner will be able to choose from are a Henry All-Weather 45-70 lever action rifle and a CZ Upland ultralight 12 gauge over under shotgun. As in years past the winner will get their choice and the other weapon will be used as a prize in the clubs Big Game Raffle.

Meeting Wednesday January 24th 7 PM at The Legion in Barre
Hello to all Williamstown Fish and Game Club members!
Happy New Year! Hopefully everyone had as much time as they could handle in the field during the hunting seasons!! Now that it is actually getting cold there should be some safe ice building and making for some great days out on the hard water!
With this new year brings big things for the club. The plan is to finish out the clubhouse and have all of our meetings and all club functions be held there. Hopefully we will be able to pin down all the specifics for a hopeful timeline at this next meeting. We will also be discussing in depth all of the fundraising efforts for the year as well as putting together a calendar of events for the year.
There are several officer and director positions up for election this year. The key to successful growth for any organization is fresh ideas. If you have been thinking about taking a more active role in the club then look no further than right there! The president and vice president positions are up for election as well as some director positions. Any questions please call me!
The range has been getting used which is awesome, however some of the items that have been used as targets are just unacceptable. Recently there have been car doors and other large metal pieces found behind the target backer. Please just use common sense when debating if what you are bringing is an acceptable target. I know that this time of year makes it tricky to pick up your spent shells but please try to make an effort to do so. If they are warm and sink into the snow then come back in the spring and pick up all that you can. It takes the effort of all of us to keep the club up and functioning properly.
We will need people willing and able to commit time to help with the grounds maintenance when the warmer weather hits. Grounds maintenance will be done on Mondays when the range is already closed.
Quick reminder that the rules for the range are posted on a very large sign right behind the shooting bench. Please refresh your memory on those rules when you visit.
Keep your eyes on your mail for the mailed newsletter and the renewal notices!

Meeting Wednesday January 24th 7 PM at The Legion in Barre
Hello to all Williamstown Fish and Game Club members!
Happy New Year! Hopefully everyone had as much time as they could handle in the field during the hunting seasons!! Now that it is actually getting cold there should be some safe ice building and making for some great days out on the hard water!
With this new year brings big things for the club. The plan is to finish out the clubhouse and have all of our meetings and all club functions be held there. Hopefully we will be able to pin down all the specifics for a hopeful timeline at this next meeting. We will also be discussing in depth all of the fundraising efforts for the year as well as putting together a calendar of events for the year.
There are several officer and director positions up for election this year. The key to successful growth for any organization is fresh ideas. If you have been thinking about taking a more active role in the club then look no further than right there! The president and vice president positions are up for election as well as some director positions. Any questions please call me!
The range has been getting used which is awesome, however some of the items that have been used as targets are just unacceptable. Recently there have been car doors and other large metal pieces found behind the target backer. Please just use common sense when debating if what you are bringing is an acceptable target. I know that this time of year makes it tricky to pick up your spent shells but please try to make an effort to do so. If they are warm and sink into the snow then come back in the spring and pick up all that you can. It takes the effort of all of us to keep the club up and functioning properly.
We will need people willing and able to commit time to help with the grounds maintenance when the warmer weather hits. Grounds maintenance will be done on Mondays when the range is already closed.
Quick reminder that the rules for the range are posted on a very large sign right behind the shooting bench. Please refresh your memory on those rules when you visit.
Keep your eyes on your mail for the mailed newsletter and the renewal notices!
