In line with Government guidance on outdoor sports, but to absolutely minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission on site, the Sneedham’s Green Range will be available to members of GA affiliate clubs from Monday 17th May without booking to a maximum capacity at any one time of nine shooters and one Range Officer. Lanes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 15 and 17 will be in use; all the usual hand and surface hygiene measures will be in place and social distancing of at least 1m should be maintained. Attendance is at your own risk and you should exercise caution. Consider the current guidance on risks associated with COVID-19 and actions you can take to help keep you those around you safe.
For groups of more than four, regardless of which clubs they are with, a non-shooting Range Officer must be designated for the session. This RO has the additional responsibility of ensuring that total range capacity is maintained at nine or less during the session and has control over access to the firing points for waiting shooters.
If you arrive to find the firing points full (all nine designated firing points occupied), please make your desire to shoot known to the Range Officer and return to your vehicle or wait near the top of the steps. The RO will check to see who is planning to leave, ensure the firing point is clear and clean when they leave, and let those waiting know when they can join the line.
Please be sensible, patient and courteous whilst we test the viability of returning to more open access to shooting on the GA range. In particular, please be prepared to limit your session to 45 minutes if other shooters are waiting.
Paul Balmer, GASRPC Chair, on behalf of The Range Management Group.
