would receive
a $5 discount towards class fees.

fees. The
question was asked that if a member was paid, would he also receive credit
towards his 6 hour
work obligation. It was the opinion of the Board members present that there was
no policy
regarding payment of club members for working at events; that was left to the

chairman. Members do not receive work credit in such cases. The Range Committee
will review
the subject to establish a policy.
