Upper Humber Rod and Gun Association

The Wildlife Division of the Department of Fisheries, Forestry, and Agriculture - will be partnering with us again this summer for a full-day youth event on

SATURDAY, JULY 30 / 2022 at the Upper Humber Rod and Gun Association at 177 Goose Arm Road in Deer Lake. Details are being finalized. Please stay tuned. 

We will have limited seating capacity for our youth which will depend on our number of available confirmed volunteers for this event. 

Any one wishing to volunteer with us during this event are asked to contact me asap so that we can establish our required numbers. 709 686 5228 or respond to this email.

We are hoping that we have "Many Volunteers" who will be assisting us with our event. It does us all good to be able to come together for a common cause of promoting the great outdoor activities for our youth. With safety being the priority concern for everyone involved with any shooting or outdoor activity, practices for safe hunting and the shooting sports for our youth are given the utmost attention. Strict rules which have been applied in the past are relaxed with regards to Covid Safety as well. Hand sanitizers, and wipes are available and masks may be worn at the discretion of the individual persons. 

The event will provide an opportunity for our youth aged 12-17 to participate in shotgun, rifle, and archery in a safe environment under the direct supervision and guidance of qualified instructors and volunteers.

There will be a nominal registration fee of $10.00 per youth to participate in this event. The fee will be collected upon registration the morning of the event. 

All firearms, archery and other equipment along with related safety gear will be provided for the day by the Wildlife Division. No other equipment will be permitted. 

Participants will learn about wildlife, outdoor safety, wilderness survival skills, and responsible hunting practices. Our Deer Lake SAR team members will be giving a discussion on outdoor wilderness safety and responsibilities.

There will be opportunities for youth to win prizes, and those participants between 12 to 17 years old will have their name entered in our Province's Youth Hunting and Fishing Program draw for a chance to participate in a hunting or fishing activity.

During lunch time, a competition to identify animals, ducks and other game birds, the judging of distances to animal and bird silhouettes, and other interesting material will be held. As part of the competition, Youth will be given some instruction on using compasses. There will also be a session on taking or reading compass bearings and giving distances between markers which will be a part of the competition.

Participants are required to pre-register for the event. Registration will take place on a first-come, first-served basis until all our spaces are filled.

 After that we will take names for stand by positions should someone not be able to attend and seating becomes available.

All youth in attendance must be accompanied by a parent and / or guardian for the entire day.

The Youth will be divided into 4 groups with each group rotating through all of the programs in a timely manner.

The event will go ahead, rain or shine so dress according to weather conditions. Bring along rain gear and remember also to bring along sunblock and a hat. We are all aware of our ever changing Newfoundland weather conditions.

Thank you for your interest in our partnered program for the Youth of Newfoundland and Labrador. By developing those necessary skills we are instilling upon these youth a heartfelt interest in our outdoor sports through hunting, fishing, and conservation minded activities. The many skills and lessons learned by our youth on this day will be an introduction for many to a lifetime of safely enjoying the great outdoors and wilderness activities which we all share.

In attendance for the day will be Archery Instructors. Members of the Deer Lake Search and Rescue team will be doing outdoor wilderness awareness and survival training. Media members will be invited. Members of the Wildlife Division and others from the Dept. of Fisheries, Forestry, and Agriculture will be in attendance as well as members from Delta Waterfowl and Firearms Instructors and our Volunteers. We could also have invited distinguished guests.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED / PLEASE ADVISE if you can assist during the day.

Volunteers are very important to the success of our activities and programs. Should you have some time to assist us during this event, please make us aware of your interest... In the past we have had good numbers of volunteers. This has helped us to a very successful process with smooth transitioning throughout the entire program. Without dedicated and treasured persons as yourself who come forward giving of your time and sharing your skills, programs such as this would not be possible. Your dedication and time with us is greatly appreciated by everyone !

Welcome to our website.

This year our applications for membership will not be mailed out as per past years. We are in a era of new and modern digital communications. The Upper Humber Rod and Gun Association has decided to take advantage of these technologies. We are hopeful they will help with processing applications and will surely reduce our associated mailing costs and time with processing. This type of processing is now the normal way for most clubs and group memberships.

2022 Membership applications can now be found online on our website under Membership. They are available for Renewal, New Memberships, Youth, and Students of post secondary education.

www.upperhumberrodandgun.com

We have made our applications much user friendly with the removal of the Jpeg white washed image of our crest and replaced it with a small crest. This will eliminate the issue of unusable applications which were apparent with some browsers and computer systems. Printing the applications will now be much clearer.

Funds can be electronically transferred to our email address at

uhrgassoc@gmail.com

Please be sure to make a notation of who the funds are for, especially if the funds are coming from someone else on your behalf.

For those wishing to do so, applications, cheques, or money orders can still be sent via regular mail to our address as noted on the application. Applications and copies of your PAL can be photo copied, scanned or jpeg pictures taken and forwarded to our email address uhrgassoc@gmail.com for processing. When submitting your application, check that the application is complete with your copies of both sides of your PAL and the funds are submitted in order for us to process your applications without delay.

We are currently waiting for our NFA insurance cards and hope to have them very soon from Edmonton.

We wish that this membership process will expedite your membership and make it easier to access the application files.

For those in or visiting Corner Brook, Barnes Sporting Goods on Humber Road can assist you with your membership applications. We pick them up from there on a regular basis.

Anyone wishing a mailed copy of the membership applications can do so by contacting us by email at

mail4upperhumber@gmail.com

or by phone at 709 686 5228 or contacting any of our Board members. We will be happy to forward a copy to you.

Please share this message.

Thank you all for your past membership with us. We look forward to seeing you again at and enjoying our facilities in 2022 and beyond.

All the best,

A small fee per rifle will be collected. A portion of the funds collected will be passed along to a charitable foundation. ALL shooters will have to register on site and non-members will pay a $6.00 fee to help cover costs, prior to any shooting activity. A portion of the fees collected will be forwarded along with our own contribution to one or more of the following; The Western Memorial Hospital Foundation, The Janeway Childrens Hospital or The Childrens Wish Foundation so that the entire community may benefits from our outdoor activity. Donations to these charitable organizations help us, our children and their families in a time of need.

While at the range Hearing and Eye protection is mandatory for everyone near any shooting area and must be worn at all times during any shooting activity. Park in a safe area always !

Although the club has a supply of the safety equipment on hand, that supply will depend on the numbers of people present.

Our UHRGA eye and hearing equipment must be sanitized/disenfected before and after each use according to health guidelines to ensure all safety measures are adhered to. If you bring your own, there will be no sharing unless it is with close family members within your own bubble.

During this Covid-19 pandemic for safety reasons we request you bring along your own protective equipment and be prepared with protective gloves and hand sanitizers or disenfectants. The club does have a supply but bringing along your own would be great and will not take up unreasonable time for cleaning for our attending UHRGA members.

Masks are requested where and when safe distancing measures cannot be maintained. Covid-19 restrictions will apply as per the Dept. of Health guidelines.

Please make every effort to bring along your own range safety equipment and personal precautionary protection.

Washroom use will be available during our sight in times. We respectively ask that you use hand sanitizers when entering and leaving our facilities. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

• UHRGA group activities and rentals are permitted with restrictions.

• The clubhouse will remain closed until further notice but may be made available under very strict guidelines and with strict cleaning measures put in place before and after each event and group activity.

Good Morning Everyone,

Last week, we were planning to call a meeting for today April 14 but covid hit again closer to home and the decision was made to keep everyone safe and to postpone until next week when hopefully the situation will improve.

So, until further notice:

On Wednesday evening April 21st / 2021 at 7:30 PM we will be having a meeting at the Upper Humber Rod and Gun facilities on Goose Arm Road in Deer Lake.

All safety measures and precautions will be taken seriously during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our building will be cleaned, sanitized and readied for our meeting.

Masks must be worn by everyone and hand sanitizers will be used when entering and leaving the facility. Safe distancing measures will be adhered to.

We would like to limit our numbers for this meeting as per the Dept of Health guidelines.

We wish all board members to make every effort to attend our meeting.

If you are not a board or committee member then please notify us prior to the meeting to ensure we can accommodate. Please direct any concerns, questions or comments to myself and I will bring them before the board on your behalf. I can be reached through this email

smith.wendell1@gmail.com

or by my home phone at 709 686 5228.

Be advised that the business of the UHRGA never stops and is being done through phone calls, emails and on occasion private meetings where safety precautions are taken.

Membership applications are ongoing and New Members are always welcome.

Please contact myself directly for concerns or any issues with membership.

Some of you have had your PAL expired over the last while. We took great pleasure working with you. By assisting you with a letter our hope is that the process will go a little smoother for you.

I know there is a backlog of applications that the CFPO has been working on, so please be patient. They also have to work through pandemic issues. Waiting times are expected to be long. My membership pending file is getting smaller so that is good which means that they are going through the system. If you have already received your new PAL, please be reminded to forward us copies of both sides and we can get your UHRGA Membership and NFA cards to you directly.

Thank you everyone. Stay Safe out there.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.
