    Nope, and it is on such a sound financial footing that it is possibly going to purchase the land.

    That is good news

    We were there one afternoon. A guy on the pistol range was finishing his mag and was no more than 2min after finish time. A woman neighbour drove down and started ranting and raving. Sheesh lady get a life. Build next to a pistol/rifle range and you get a bit of noise

    With all the hard work the committee has put in dragging the club back from the brink, and Rescource Consents etc, why give the anti- brigade the ammunition ( pun intended) they need to complain.

    Why not finish 2 mins early and give them a smile and a wave, was it really that important to finish the mag?
