Message from the President

Dear <<First Name>>,

As we wrap up the 2018 Club year, we look forward to a successful 2019 Club year. Much of the Club's success is dependent upon the active participation of the Club's members.

We want Mt. Washington to continue to be a vibrant member involved Club and not simple a "badge vendor" organization as too many clubs are. Your Club officers are dedicated to improving the Club's activities and providing services to you as a member. Make a New Year's resolution to attend Club meetings and events.

Season's Greetings to you and yours,

JHJ

Membership Renewals for 2019!

If you have not already renewed your Club membership, we urge you to renew today! Otherwise, your Club membership will expire on December 31, 2018.

Renewal is easy! Download the membership renewal form (not the application for new membership) and send it and your dues check today.
THIS IS THE MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL FORM.
Download the membership RENEWAL form. Click here.
  1. Open the form with Adobe Reader.
  2. Use the “Save As” function in Adobe Reader to save the form on your computer and re-name it “your first and last name” so you don’t lose your data.
  3. Fill in the form and save the file again.
  4. Print the completed form.
  5. Mail the form with your check in the amount of $35 payable to Mt. Washington Rod & Gun Club, PO Box 586, Ruxton, MD 21139 (send via USPS – not email), the mailing address is also on the bottom of the form.
PLEASE do not email your renewal form to the Club's membership info email address, it will only delay processing of your renewal.

Remember, our Club bylaws require that members complete and submit a membership renewal form. REMEMBER TO RENEW YOUR NRA MEMBERSHIP THRU THE CLUB WEBSITE.
 
As a member, It is your responsibility to renew your membership prior to December 31st. Per our Club bylaws, any member who does not renew his or her membership prior to the end of the January grace period will no longer be a member in good standing and will be required to re-apply for membership and pay the $10 application fee in addition to the annual dues.
 
AGC rules require that persons seeking to purchase or renew a Range Badge, have in their possession a valid Club membership card for 2019. The 2018 AGC annual range badges will not be valid after January 31, 2019. Persons do not maintain active membership in the Club, and who own a 15 year Range Badge, will have their badge invalidated by the AGC. These are AGC's rules and we are compelled to abide by them.

AGC 2019 Range Badges

You must have renewed your Club membership and have a valid 2019 Club membership card. We need time to process your renewal and produce your membership card so please renew early.

You can pay for your 2019 AGC range badge online by credit card. HOWEVER, if you do not have a valid 2019 Mt. Washington membership card, you cannot receive your AGC range badge, even if you have already paid for the badge. Click here to pre-pay for your AGC range badge.

Maryland Handgun Qualification License Class

Postponed - Watch for a new date.

Out of an abundance of caution for the Club we have decided to postpone the Maryland HQL class originally scheduled for Sunday, December 16, 2018.

This is due to ongoing, and still unresolved, questions involving the extent of AGC's general liability and professional liability coverage for instructors who are Club members. We did a great deal of investigation and decided that securing a Club instructor insurance policy was the best way to resolve the matter.

The cost of a Club instructor insurance policy exceed the amount the Club Executive Committee is authorized to spend without prior Club member approval. We had hoped to obtain member this approval at the November meeting. Unfortunately, the weather related closing of the AGC compelled us to cancel the November Club meeting.

The net result is that we must delay the class until we have authorization from the members to secure the liability insurance for our instructors, the Club, and the AGC.

Save Money With Promo Codes

We have probably all encountered the "insert promo code" option when purchasing items via the internet. Most of the time this savings opportunity is missed because the person doesn't have a code. The good news is that you  do not have to rely on the vendor sending or publishing a special "promo code" in an advertisement.

Before you shop a vendor, try running a Google search "promo code" followed by the vendor name. For example: cut and paste: promo code midway usa.  You will be surprised by the results. While not all promo codes produced are active, most of them are, and there are real savings to be had if you invest a few minutes of your time.
