Only one match contested yesterday under coaching conditions, however, further headway was made on the major drainage project. 
The storm water pipes outside the Ranges have now been extended to their full length and a significant portion of the trench filled in. Hopefully, the remainder will be filled next Saturday if the ground dries out a bit more.
We also hope to be able to lay the pipes and install the pits inside the ranges and restore the ground, however, that is also subject to favourable weather conditions.
For those intending to shoot a match next Saturday, the Match of the day will be Standard Pistol contested on Static Targets.

Opening the new range building is now one step closer with 12 members putting in a mammoth effort amid light showers to install the drainage requested by Council with 4 members attending Sunday to make the final connections for the roof water into the water tanks. Unfortunately the weather was not kind on Sunday with persistent rain and about 50% of the storm drainage is yet to be covered and the ground will need to be graded when it eventually dries out.
It is hoped that installation of the remainder of the drainage can be completed next weekend.
Two members did contest a Ladies Air Pistol Match before Lunch on Saturday and both were happy with the scores they returned.
A new member also took part in a practice Ladies Air Match under instruction as she progresses towards applying for her Probationary Licence.
​Match of the day next weekend for those intending to shoot a match will be Centre Fire/Sports Pistol

Finally back to update on progress after several weeks away.

Work is progressing slowly on completion of our new 25 metre range building with the targets all now reconnected and operational as well as the wall between Ranges 1 and 2 only requiring a few more pieces of trim to be installed and the door fitted.

We have a big day planned for this Saturday to lay all the drainage pipes required by Council as a condition of approval of the new building and then raking and levelling the ground to make it safer to mow when the grass re-establishes in Spring.

Hopefully, the baffles will be re-installed in the next couple of weeks with the new bay dividers shortly after and the new facility can then be used.

Last Saturday saw a reasonable turnout at the Club with 8 members and 1 visitor in attendance.

Four Air Pistol matches and one practice match were contested before lunch followed by five members contesting a Sport Pistol/Centre Fire match in the afternoon

Another small turnout with 6 members in attendance.
Dick and Michelle contested an Air Pistol Match before lunch before joining Charles to contest a Standard Pistol Match after lunch. Dick recorded a significant Personal Best in Standard Pistol after a significant PB in Air Pistol several weeks ago (for which I have only just received the scores). 
Further work was also undertaken to complete the new range building with the new dividing wall within the building only a couple of hours from being completed now.
The next major job to be undertaken is to complete all the drainage and ready all the disturbed soil for "grassing up".
​Members are looking forward to finally seeing this new building project completed.
