Coming Up

Indoor Range Working BEE – Sat 6 May

The Indoor Range is in need of some tidying, bales need rotating and the shooting wall needs repacking.

If you are a regular user of the Indoor range we expect that you will come and help out on the day!!
Lunch will be provided.  If you want to help but need transport, please let me know and we can arrange a carpool from the outdoor range.

This is a fantastic venue all year round, but particularly coming into the winter months.  
Many hands make light work – we would love to see you there!!
