had good background, and accessibility. With no alternatives, there was little discussion on the matter other than a direct decision to move. There had been no shooting, little enthusiasm, and by late July it took a major, concentrated effort by the few established members, and some new enthusiasts who offered their services, to remove the buildings from their resting place of almost 15 years. The move is accurately noted in minutes kept by Secretary/Treasurere Harley Ings and in summary, report the transfer over four days: On Tuesday, July 26th, a 'float' was obtained from Sterling (Ginger) MacKay, for the driver's expenses only, and transferred the two middle skeet houses, with the only incidents being a brief tussle with a family of skunks at Highfield, and a confrontation with a too-low Welcome to Charlottetown arch near the intersection at Southport. The next day they moved the fences and control houses. On Thursday a float, borrowed from Douglas Brothers and Jones, took the remaining two houses, and all of the stations. The following Tuesday MacKay Construction moved the clubhouse, completing the transition from Winsloe to the Earle Ings' farm. The work was done by eleven people, headed by George Carson and Harley Ings, who spent every day of the transfer in work clothes. Other members included Frank Turnbull, Reg Barwise, Lorne Doiron, Len Williams, Bob Petrie and Bill Morrell. Angus MacEachern, Owen MacLean and Lorne Keizer, three friends who had no obligation to work, spent many hours helping the few members move the Charlottetown Gun Club to Mount Herbert.

The 'new' Club was set up as a single skeet field utilizing the two combination high/low houses that had been constructed for the 'Centennial' shoot twelve years previously. The trap field was established, and the two old skeet houses, that had served clay target shooting for 30 years at four different locations,were set away in a lower part of the Ings' farm where they gradually deteriorated, and were finally burned. The Club was back to a single skeet field, and, for the time being, it was more than equal to the demand.
