additional relief from their tree-lined background. 
     
     The few cents per case additional cost for the color 
     
     topped targets would be carried by an increase in 
     
     target fees to $1.75 per round. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Twelve new members helped the Club accomplish a 
     
     record total of 3475 rounds shot, up 11 percent over 
     
     1978, and among them were high school teacher Louis 
     
     Daley; electrician Tony Kelly; former member Doug 
     
     Wood; and juniors Ronnie Cameron, Shane Carmody, Mark 
     
     Jewell, and Myles MacDonald. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Charlottetown Trap and Skeet Club at Mount 
     
     Albion was alive and, most important, it was growing. 
     
     Winter shooting, too, had grown from a fad in the mid- 
     
     seventies, to a well attended and competitive part of 
     
     the Club's operation. The executive and directors 
     
     were now meeting regularly and taking their 
     
     responsibilities very seriously. They realized that 
     
     they were part of a growth cycle that had the 
     
     potential to lift clay target shooting in this area to 
     
     heights of activity yet unknown. 
     
    
   
   
    
     With the early Eighties came a continued effort 
     
     to sustain the growth pattern that had been 
     
     established over the preceding few years. It wasa 
     
     success story, and every success story has an 
     
     incident, or a series of happenings, that triggers a 
     
     change in the normal routine. In the case of the 
     
     Charlottetown Club it was undoubtedly the lead content 
     
     developing in the soil on the Ings' farm in 1971, 
     
     necessitating a commitment to move, purchase new 
     
     property, and provide the organization with the 
     
     dedication and desire required to become successful. 
     
    
   
   
    
     It did not happen overnight; actually the Club 
     
     took a full decade to mature. The strength 
     
     established was evidenced when, in 1982 during a 
     
     worldwide economic depression that had many monetary 
     
     systems and financial empires on the verge of 
     
     collapse, the Charlottetown Trap and Skeet Club 
     
     registered a record breaking total of 4479 rounds
