New keys. Members are advised that those who previously had a key are required to do an induction revision by way of a short questionnaire. Members were advised of 4 evening and one afternoon sessions at the club rooms to do this. Several of our out of town members took advantage of these sessions but I am afraid those who did not will now have to come to a club shoot. The test only takes 5 - 10 minutes, but gives us a chance to update members who may have originally done their induction before all the recent changes to the range. The old key will cease to work after the end of APRIL. The new key is working now.

Working Bees. I have been asked by several keen members when the next working bee is to be held. After a range committee meeting this month you can expect to see some dates via mail soon.
