| A note about range closings |
We make every effort to complete the set up for indicated events as early as possible on the day prior to each event. We apologize to our members for any inconvenience this causes but, as always, safety comes first at Suffolk Archers. On the days the range is marked to be closed, when the work is completed and it is safe to resume shooting, a sign indicating that the work has been completed will be posted on the pavilion bulletin board. PLEASE CHECK TO BE CERTAIN THIS SIGN IS POSTED BEFORE YOU SHOOT ON THESE DAYS. YOU MAY ALSO CHECK WITH THE PERSON IN CHARGE TO DETERMINE IF SOME PART OF THE RANGE MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR SHOOTING, WHILE WORK CONTINUES ON ANOTHER PART. |
