Can only agree it was one of the best so far I think, nice to get into some Bushy crafts, or not have to worry about anyone else on the site, I came away that we had achived something this weekend, and learnt a few things as well... hopfully may many more meets that to come as of yet.
As the Landowner has OK'ed it for Air Guns and Archery Equipment to be used for Target use Only, Carl is a Qualified Range Control Officer and he has agreed to being the one that over see's the use of the Ranges, Thank you for that Carl.
I have been talking with Carl, about the use of Air Guns and doing Archery at the site, The Air Gun use can start next meet as Carl can bring some Targets and the Chronograph, And will be limited to NON FAC Air Guns ONLY (12flb Limit - they will be Chronographed before each session).
Archery is a different thing due to targets - at this point we have no access to any...., and the power of the bows that can be used will be controled by the type of targets/back stops we can use, that we can source amongst the group.
Hope this is good new to all that attend and look forward to the next meet, and will be including the full details in the next meet annoucement.

There is a lean to one man natural shelter that can be used, if you would like to use it for a night, that would be on a first come, first serve basis, it may need re-roofing prior to use. There is also a Shave horse for use as well that was made as a group project.

Vehicles and Access and Parking to site
Due to the amount of cars and access being required by the landowner, cars can go to the woodland to drop off and pick up kit, then back to parking area for the duration of the stay, the Car Parking for the woodland will be about 800m away from the woodland in the Land owners Yard, please do not block Gates and Barn doorways,
If the ground is too wet then, most of the gear will have to walked in, I can arrange for help for people that cannot walk that far due to a health reason, I need to know this in advance.
Group Meal,
