Overview & Purpose
The Garden Club (GC) is a Snoqualmie Valley Rifle Club (SVRC) discipline dedicated to teaching women to use
pistols in a supportive environment. We are led by women SVRC members for women in our community. Students
of any skill level are welcomed, from pure novice and onwards.
The Director of Garden Club leads events and coordinates with the SVRC Board. The Garden Club Committee
assists with all GC activities and maintains equipment. To join the GC Committee, we require enthusiasm for
women’s shooting, to be an RSO or have equivalent experience (military, law enforcement, private security etc.).

Lesson Calendar
Garden Club meets Tuesday evenings, from 5:30-9:00pm. Our yearly schedule runs from about beginning of April
to about the last Tuesday of October. The skills build on each other, so while new students are always welcomed and accommodated, it is beneficial to come as often as possible to develop skill sets.
