I’m sure most of you will have heard the new measures announced during tonight’s ministerial speech. It should, therefore, go without saying that we must announce the complete closure of all our facilities.

Although technology has made the widespread instant dissemination of information possible, this post will only reach those who have access to email and the web. I am therefore urging those of you with family, friends and acquaintances in the club, who may not be as confident with technology, to reach out via text and telephone to ensure that the message is heard by all.

Continue to stay safe, we’ll be back before long!

Further to the committee’s previous update, and in keeping with new government advice, both the bar and indoor range facilities at Railway Street will be closed with immediate effect.

The facilities at Ballygraffan will remain open. The use of these facilitates is subject to current government advice on ‘social distancing’. In adherence with this advice we require that all those attending the range do so while observing the following:

• Do not attend if you have experienced any cold or flu like symptoms or dry cough in the past 14 days
• Observe a 2m separation distance from other members
• Do not congregate indoors
• Occupy every other lane

While the above might seem stringent, it is necessary to ask all members to take these steps in order to protect ourselves and others.  They are also essential for keeping our facilities operational for those that may seek a break and wish to clear their mind.

We realise these are uncertain times, but the committee are committed to keeping the club intact for when normal service resumes. 

We urge all members to stay safe and practice good personal hygiene, social distancing and isolation where applicable.

Following recent guidance from the UK Government, The Committee have taken the regrettable step of postponing this years AGM until such times as the UK guidance advises it is safe to do so. The current committee and officers will continue day to day running of the club until such time as an AGM can be safely convened.

At this time our ranges remain open. We advise all members of the club to follow government isolation advice and therefore avoid all travel to the club facilities during the isolation period if they are experiencing any coughing or cold like symptoms. We will advise members if the use of the facilities becomes restricted.
