All locks were burnt off very neatly-so
neatly that Bernard has been able to
repair 2 of them. Only a wheelbarrow , 5
airgun targets and some first aid items
were stolen. If you notice that any
other items are missing when you next
visit the range, please let me know.
Otherwise, please mind out for sharp
edges on the remains of the lock boxes.
Happy days! Chris
