As Dave announced at today’s shoot, we have a signed lease from the conservators of the heath allowing us to maintain and shoot on the area behind the second small car park on Royston Heath.
Apart from meaning that we can shoot more often and at our own choices of times, and expand to a greater number of members, it also allows us to shoot longer distances (70 to 90 metres) which are required to progress to higher classifications.
We plan to have the area prepared over the next month or so and should be able to start shooting there early in the new year.
Many many thanks to the Conservators of Royston Heath for allowing us to do this, and to both North Herts District Council and the Brian Racher Trust for granting us the funds to cover the costs of the initial preparation and maintenance.
