shotgunning enthusiast to spend a Saturday afternoon. The move itself was uneventful except for the discovery that a family of mink had established themselves underneath the low house, and were not at all happy when their cover was removed. The high house, with its unique wide base, presented the usual trucking problems, but after three moves it was becoming routine. There was a slight hitch when traffic had to be held up at the Hillsborough Bridge to let it across the narrow artery, but with a good club effort the buildings were returned to the area where they were built fourteen years before.

The actual trucking of the buildings was done by one of the McQuaid family, well known on the Island for their moving and razing of structures. The move was done for a few beers, and when completed, the mover, in great humor, was heard to remark..."You are a great bunch of boys. I hope the next buildings you have to move are twice as big and have to go twice as far!"

The new skeet field was located on the Royalty Junction Road, about 200 yards off the Winsloe Road behind Wallace Rodd's Highfield Tourist Cabins, and was set up in an east-west conformation, shooting toward the south which, because of the area, and road, was really the only way it could be established.

Shooting started at Highfield in June, and it was not long before new members started filtering into the Club. There was a process of new member screening by a committee, but the standards of this Club were not severe, a far cry from bygone clubs, and President Gil Houston knew, if his club was going to grow, it needed new members. There is no recollection of anyone, who was willing to pay the $3.00 annual fee, being refused membership.

The long-established Charlottetown Kennel Club

was winding down its existence, and one of the assets would be passed on to the Skeet Club. Sid Green,
