For our October meeting, we’re trying something different. The WRCA is going bowling! Sure, we’ve done golf outings, sporting clays, and pheasant hunts around this time of year, but consider the advantages of bowling by comparison:
It’s really hard to lose a ball.
You don’t have to load a bowling ball.
Weather’s not a factor.
If you have a hook, that’s a good thing.
If you have a slice, it will probably be pepperoni.
If you have a Chihuahua (or some other non-hunting breed) you can finally bring your dog to a WRCA event.
You get to wear really cool shoes.
And it’s fun!Space is limited, so register today!
Registration is just $40.00 per person and includes three games of bowling, shoes, pizza/appetizers, drink ticket, and door prizes.We hope you’ll join us for this event!
Non-Member guests are welcome!
