As you are aware, the BSA are concerned about the damage caused to their pitch by our driving to and from the range, particularly following wet weather. We continue to work and plan with the BSA towards a permanent solution by installing a matted roadway, however in the meantime the BSA have asked that we undertake the following points to limit the ongoing damage when accessing the range.
-
Only members carrying firearms are permitted to drive to the range – all other members should park in the main carpark and walk. Firearms must never be carried on foot between the carpark and the range at any time.
-
Please take note of any temporary signage posted in the corner of the carpark before driving onto the grass.
-
Please note, use of the new roadway will require some ongoing restrictions to ensure its longevity. A strict 10mph speed limit is in force.
-
Please do not drive off the roadway and venture onto the grass or pitches, there are passing places and a new parking area next to the range. If cricket is in play, please
wait until the current over has completed before driving across bowler/batsman’s line of sight. -
Please avoid using particularly large or heavy vehicles. (wherever possible).
Ensure that you use our online booking system, if the BSA consider that recent weather precludes our using the range on a specific day we will attempt to contact all booked members on the previous evening to avoid wasted journeys. Please check your email (including the junk!) before you travel if the weather has been poor.
We are working with the BSA to keep the disruption to a minimum, I ask that you please do everything possible to minimise the damage and ensure the club can keep the range open over the Winter.
