In order to allow Paul more time to concentrate on the legal technicalities of acquiring the quarry and developing the new range, Maurice has agreed to do the administration for club competitions including both postal leagues from the end of the current season. So if you have any questions regarding competitions (external and internal) please address them to Maurice in the first instance.

Not everyone can come along to the Club on Wednesday or Sunday and for some people getting access to the ranges for children with coaching or special practice needs is difficult at such times. To relieve growing pressure on ranges on usual Club days, the Committee has decided to open the Club indoor range on Thursday evenings between 5pm and 10pm especially to cater for Junior members. Contact Paul, the Club Secretary for details. Parents need to remember though that the Club isn't a crèche. A parent or guardian must accompany children.

Applicants for membership are reminded that once police checks are completed, applicants are usually offered probationary membership. Prospective members are reminded that full membership is not granted automatically but is dependant on regular shooting attendance during their mandatory six month probationary period. Probationary members are reminded that they should pay a £5 range fee on each visit.

To minimise any disruption to members shooting when prospective new members are being shown around and may be shooting under supervision, the last Sundays of each month have been designated open days and all newcomers are being steered onto those days. This does not affect members bringing guests or visitors along at any time, as it applies only to newcomers enquiring about membership..

Members are reminded that the official opening times of the club are 11am until 4pm Wednesday and Sunday. If a Duty Officer agrees to stay open longer on any particular day that is purely at their discretion. Most times the Duty Officer has been at the club from around 10 am and by 4pm they are probably looking forward to getting home. Your understanding is appreciated.

Members who cannot get to the club during the day on Wednesdays and who would like to shoot in the summer evenings are advised to contact the Club Secretary to see if any late sessions are planned. These would normally be on a Wednesday evening and are strictly by prior arrangement.
