Hi Everyone

I hope you’re all keeping safe and well.

Several things to mention this time, so in no particular order :

Julie needs to know final numbers for the proposed Christmas bash by the end of this week in order to make a firm booking. Please contact her directly at julie.napier02. Partners are welcome to attend, incidentally. It would be good if we could get sufficient numbers to make it viable. It’s on Saturday 14th December 5:30 at the Lime Tree in Leicester, £22.95 for starter and main, dessert £6.50.

This Saturday (26th Oct.) there will be no 50m session as both Pete and Steve are unavailable. Apologies from them but normal service will be resumed next month.

The weather continues to play games with us in terms of making the range fit or otherwise for parking on. No sooner was it declared fit for parking last week than another monsoon struck and rendered it otherwise. The sun and breeze today dried it out again so Ray has stated that the RO of the day can decide on the parking situation. If the range isn’t fit to park on, they will place the ‘no parking’ sign at the bottom of the drive face-on so you can see it. If it’s okay, the sign will be left edge on and you can drive up past it. It won’t be long before we have to stop it for the winter as usual but we can keep going as long as we can.

Finally, another reminder about the 25m competitions. It’s good to see members having a go at these. You’ve got until the end of November to shoot them so there’s still plenty of time. The rules are posted at the range and targets are available from the ROs.

Best regards for now.
