No training shall commence until this certificate of liability insurance is submitted to LFGC Leadership.
COURSE CONDUCT OUTLINE
Every instructor shall provide to LFGC a course conduct outline FOR the course to be taught. (The course conduct outline does not need to contain the actual curriculum material, but the operational protocols of how the range will be controlled, what safety protocols will be observed) when/how firearms are handled, clearing stoppages/double-feeds, reloading of magazines, Safety/Emergency plan.

No courses will be scheduled more than eight (8) weeks in advance, without prior Board approval. No more than two courses within a 16 week period shall be scheduled without Board or Officer approval.
While LFGC does not charge fees to use training ranges, a fee may be assessed for clean-up depending on the extent of any refuse, trash or excessive debris left at the conclusion of the class.
A modest donation to the club is always welcome and encouraged.
When scheduling conflicts occur, LFGC reserves the right to move a class to an alternate range. While this is extremely rare, Leaders will never cancel a class due to a schedule conflict but will make an alternative suitable arrangement.
CANCELLATIONS
It is absolutely frowned upon for any Instructor who schedules a class then cancels the class within 3-5 days. Any Instructor who cancels a class 3-5 days prior to the class date, will be required to provide a course roster containing the range minimums 14 days prior to the class. Three Course cancellations within 3-5 days prior to the class, will result in denial of training range scheduling and use.

PROHIBITED PRACTICES
None of the training ranges shall be used by any member who is an instructor under the guise or pretext of conducting a class for other non-class purposes. Member/Instructors found to be using the range for a “friends and family,” range day, will be barred from all future use. The training ranges are in demand by other instructors therefore, using the ranges for personal use is discouraged. Subverting the Training Range purpose will lead to permanent preclusion for use.
