41 auto-angling manual release trap, and two new 
     
     ‘wonder' skeet traps were ordered (with the assistance 
     
     of Dunc Morrison) to be delivered in the early spring. 
     
     ‘Thirty-two new 36-inch circular stations were ordered 
     
     from the Larter Bros. cement plant on the Kensington 
     
     Road (now DB&J). With cash up-front required, money 
     
     to pay for it all was borrowed, and a note for $1200 
     
     jointly and severally signed by Art Hogan, Hugh 
     
     Simpson, Sid Green, Ollie Harper, Glydon Willis, Ron 
     
     Atkinson, Howard Douglas, Wylie Bryenton, Bob Hyndman, 
     
     and Dr. Gil Houston. 
     
    
   
   
    
     During March and April the executive finalized 
     
     the competiton plans and organized the preparation of 
     
     a booklet to offset the cost of merchandise prizes and 
     
     badges. The shoot itself would be open to all 
     
     Maritime gunners and, for skeet, the regular 
     
     classification system was altered slightly to have 
     
     only classes A, B, and C for the 100 targets. The 
     
     trap would be 50-16 yard birds, and run on the Lewis 
     
     Class system. The shoot would be called the 
     
     "Charlottetown Centennial Trap and Skeet Shoot" and, 
     
     to avoid additional effort, would include the Prince 
     
     Edward Island Trap and Skeet Championships, which 
     
     would be run concurrently. 
     
    
   
   
    
     By the last week of April the new skeet houses 
     
     were almost completed and, being relatively large 
     
     buildings, were taking up a fair bit of room in the 
     
     City Barn, and no doubt were the subject of a number 
     
     of questions. The three new traps had arrived; and at 
     
     Larter Bros. the new stations were ready and stacked 
     
     outside awaiting pickup. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Back in February, when membership approval for 
     
     expansion was given, there was one subject that was 
     
     passed over rather lightly...and then totally ignored. 
     
     However, as time progressed, it became more evident 
     
     that if the Club was to make any impression on 
     
     visitors that would be participating in August, the 
     
     ‘nnew' Charlottetown Gun Club would need a clubhouse-- 
     
     especially with a Maritime Championship in mind for
