Rossendale MTC - refurbished club range now "officially" opened.

[I. J.]

Great! Youve got heating on just in time for summer. I bet you will never get 'Oliver Twist' aka 'The soup kitchen kid' out of there now.

That night of bell target shooting competition was SO funny.

Heating in time for the summer months - thats exactly what we thought - but you can't expect the electrician to work in the cold !

However, we are now "comfy" and the next bout of cold weather should not bother us.

To be fair the cellar temperature does not vary too much during the year in any case, but the average temperature will be kept a little higher now and keeping the cellar dry has to be a better environment for us to enjoy!

We have not seen "Oliver" again since that night, but it was funny. We thought he was a Rivington Club member and they thought he was a Rossendale Club member - he even signed-on to take a turn at the bell target (!), but it turned out that he was more interested in raiding the kitchen - and so I invited him to leave

Cheeky sod. To well dressed to be a Rivi member.

If your members are cold tell them to stand in the corner. Its 90 degrees there.

Sorry - he looked like a "down and out" so you can see how easy it was to make that mistake

Valuable advice regarding standing in the corner Ian - well up to your usual helpful standard - and well worth a try the next time you cross the "big hill" to visit us .

Firstly - 'down and out'. Yes, many of our members are down and I think a few have yet to come 'out'.

With regards to 'standing in the corner'. I bet that brought back many bad school day memories.

Perhaps you would like to be the first to try to record a 50 ex 50 at 10 meters with your air pistol live on our range?

You seem to be able to do it on your own range often enough, so this would be your chance to get your name recorded for posterity (but for a good reason this time!) by recording the first "possible" on the refurbished club range.

No excuses, perfect lighting, excellent target changers and good heating - it would all be down (!) to you........and no penalties like having to buy everyone a cup of tea to worry about either!

We have already recorded several "possibles" on the range for supported air rifle shooting, and I have hit one hole groups with the air rifle at 10 meters a few times now, so it only leaves the opportunity for the air pistol to record something memorable - and since we don't shoot air pistol much here any more, it leaves the door open for an intermitent visitor (and previous club member) such as yourself (or Oliver) to grab the honour - if you can

Put a sticker on the card, Bob and he'll be there for ever, never mind posterity....
