April Fund Raising Auction a Huge Success! Robbie Briggs Chairman Saturday Evening April 24, 2010 was the date of our first ever fund raising club auction. For a mere sawbuck members were be treated to a prime rib dinner with all the fixings. The entertainment for the evening was of course the live auction, silent auction and penny sale. In an effort to help benefit the club, members donated a myriad of various merchandise, services as well as gift certificates to help further the club’s overall cause of finishing the indoor pistol range. Some of the merchandise donated were fishing trips, reloading equipment, area restaurant gift certificates, a number of firearms, gun cabinets, household items, a bottle of bubbly, numerous hunting knives, one of a kind watercolor artwork and even furniture. To say the least there was something here for everyone.
The club would like to thank Robbie Briggs for his effort in organizing this event and acting as auctioneer for the evening. The club would like to thank Heidi Dykeman, her daughter Katie and everyone else who helped in the kitchen that evening in putting together a sensation menu and feeding over 67 club guests and patrons. To everyone who donated merchandise and other auction items the club is in your debt. Again thank you to everyone.
Abby Savage, daughter of Club Board of Director Al Savage and Club Clerk Jill Savage was the "Belle of the Ball" at our Club Auction on April 24, 2010. This auction offered a bit of everything for everyone. Abby models a new leather motorcycle jacket, a hand carved goose in flight and an old 10 gauge side by side Remington shotgun wall hanger. (firing pins removed)

Thank yous go out to all who helped with the burning of the brush on the trap range as well as the demotion of the roof in the indoor archery range and the placement of the temporary blue tarp as a make shift ceiling. To all who showed up to help, your efforts are very much appreciated.

Trap Committee: Bob Bates: On Saturday, May 1, 2010, the members of the World Famous Hanson Claybusters Trap Team were our host for what has become now our seventh interclub competition. This program between our two clubs began back over three years ago in 2007. This annual event is now used as our preverbal “kick off” to the spring and summer trap season. As spring Saturday’s go the weather was favorable and over 24 contenders from both clubs shot 100 rounds of trap each. In the end the Hanson Claybusters prevailed by 5 birds with a score of 465 to our 460. Top Shooters for Cape Cod's Trap Team, AKA Fame's Favored Few, were Jim Gillespie, Bob Fratus Sr., Joe Bisson, Rusty Crocker and Don Watkins. Top shooters for the Hanson Trap Team were Bob Preston, Adam Preston, John MacLellen, Bill Swanson, Dean Matta and Dave Bouldry It should be recognized here that each team exhibited a great deal of trap shooting expertise. The rematch, or eighth contest, will be held here this fall at our own Cape Cod Fish & Game Trap Range.
It has been said a number of times that this program has been a great success due to the great deal of camaraderie between the two organizations. A more true statement could not be made as great time was had by all participants. Our own CCF&G Trap Committee would like to thank our counterparts from Hanson for making this event as enjoyable as it was. Special recognition goes out to Hanson Committee members Jim Dwyer (Hanson Trap Committee Chairman) and John Coyman for running a great shoot and catering one hell of a BBQ at lunchtime. Another thank you goes to Joanne Preston for her donation of BBQ chicken and over 5 dozen deviled eggs!
