Club Announcements
Notice to Members
The 2026 membership renewals are being mailed to active members this week (October 6, 2025). If you do not receive yours within the next two weeks, please contact Kellie Harding at: info@jeffersoncountywviwla.com
Club house changes - In order to increase the parking area in front of the club house, the light pole and the Flag poles were moved. The telephone pole with light is just outside the front door to the club house. The flag pole has been moved to just behind the club house on the right side. The ground just outside the club house has been filled with dirt and mulch in preparation for planting bushes and/or shrubs.
Trap House - The seventh trap house is now complete and ready for use. It's just in time for the club's first hosting of the WV Hall of Fame/Aim trap shoot to be held on September 27 and 28, 2025.
Email - As many of our members know, the club sends out informational emails from time to time updating members about club activities. If you are a member, would like to receive email from the club and are not receiving them, please contact us at: leetownwviwla@gmail.com and your email address will be added or corrected.
Pond News - The ponds are full again! After what seems like an eternity, the repairs to the two ponds have been mostly completed and the dams are full of water again. Most of us were shocked and overjoyed that the ponds filled up so quickly because we hadn't noticed that much water coming into the ponds while the dams were breached. It may take some time for the ponds to settle after having all manner of vegetation growing in them for so long, but eventually we will be able to introduce fish back into them. In fact, the lower pond still had a few fish in a small area that did not completely drain when the dam was breached for repair. Access to the lower pond is better now because the excavating company widened the trail to it and cleared the access area adjacent to the dam for vehicles to park and turn around. It may take some time for the ground to settle so right now there is a good amount of mud laying around but hopefully once vegetation sets in again, it will be easier to access.
Trap Website - There is a new website just for Leetown trapshooters at: www.leetownwvtrap.com. Check it out. It contains dates for our Summer Trap League as well as a list of winners for each week and individual scores for all participants.
Notice Regarding Firearms in the Clubhouse - At the November, 2024, regular membership meeting, a resolution was passed unanimously which restricts bringing firearms into the clubhouse. This was done for safety reasons.
Effective immediately, members will no longer be permitted to bring firearms into the clubhouse. Exceptions include firearms that are brought in for raffles/auctions and for sanctioned training events. For the exceptions, the firearms must be unloaded and bolt removed, action in the open position or other recognized method for making the firearm inoperable.
Concealed and open carry firearms will continue to be permitted in the clubhouse, but no handling of these firearms will be permitted.
Gate Key Fob Notice - Issues and questions regarding the Gate Key Fob or questions regarding membership can be resolved at any of the monthly member meetings or by contacting Kellie Harding at info@jeffersoncountywviwla.com.
Inclement Weather Notice - If Jefferson County schools are cancelled due to weather on a day when a regular monthly IWLA meeting is scheduled, that meeting will be cancelled and business held over to the following month.
Electronic Gate Won't Open? - If the electronic gate will not open due to a power outage or mechanical failure, members may use the double metal gate, as the code on the gate lock always matches the 4-digit code on your membership card. The double gate is not to be used for regular entry onto club grounds.
Space Available on Boat Rack -
The Pond Committee expanded the boat storage rack nd there are several spaces available to rent. The boat spaces rent for only $20.00 per year. The spaces accommodate boats approximately 48″ wide. You will be issued a stainless steel lock & key with your rental payment.
If you are interested in storing your boat, canoe, or kayak at our Upper Pond site, please constact Keith Baker at keithlbaker@gmail.com.
