ample space for expansion.
In developing
this new facility, particular
attention
has been given to the aids and
equipment
likely to be required
by disabled
shooters,
both in terms of shooting space and
off-range facilities such as toilets.
The new range was also designed
with the
requirements
ofour aspiring

shooters
in mind, though
their
training
has been severely
disrupted
by the
enforced curtailment
of shooting
activities due
to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The enforced closure ofthe Club for much of
the year, due to Covid-19, presented
an
opportunity
for the Club to overhaul
and
refurbish
all the facilities available to members,
to the standard
set by the aforementioned
