Range Closure Update
Please be advised that at this stage the range will remain closed until approximately early July.
The fences are in the process of been replaced from the bush fires, and the branch is still looking for enough range officers to be able to reopen the range. The range will not be able to be reopened until this is done.
There is a working bee this weekend 16th and 17th to get some of the other repairs and cleaning are done, which will hopefully speed this all up.
For more information please contact the branch.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest We Forget.
SSAA Bundaberg - meeting suspended - eepurl.com/gZdwzY
Due to the the latest restrictions surrounding COVID-19, this months firearms safety course has been cancelled. The course for May is currently pending but additional bookings have been blocked for the time being.
We have had a lot of discussion on this matter over the last week. In the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic we have made the decision to suspend all competitions and scheduled practice days until further notice.
The range is not officially closed and certain shoots may still be run, i.e. private bookings as in police or training.
This decision has been made at the recommendation of various professionals, and although being an outdoor sporting club we are not yet required to close legally, we feel it is the best decision at this time. Please keep an eye out on the mailing list and Facebook. As soon as we are advised it is safe to recommence standard schedules, we will notify everyone. Please pass this message along to anyone that might not have access to emails or Facebook.
This will end eventually, and everything will resume as normal, but for the safety of the members we all feel this is the most sensible option at this time.
Regards,
Bundaberg Q32 Committee

Works still in progress
The work on the road has started. For those that don’t know, we put in for a grant to repair the roads into the ranges. Late last year and we were successful in getting the funding and work is well underway. Awsome work from Heritage City Earthmoving.

So a bit of an update on the bushfire at the range. With the hard work of the RFS we managed to get away with no buildings lost. As you can see from the pic it got very close so we are extremely lucky.
The damage we did sustain is to the fences and the all the danger signs around the boundaries.
So at this stage we have to keep the range closed until we have the signs replaced. We will need helpers next week to come and help put up new fence signs around the boundary so we can reopen for shooing. Let us know if you can help.
Also a big shoutout to Signmax Bundaberg for working over their Christmas break to get these ready for us. The gates would be closed for a lot longer without them.
Just letting everyone know we have a fire very close to the club. Last person we could get in there confirmed there was no damage currently. Rural fire service are working hard to protect our buildings and houses in the area but at this stage we are just waiting to see what happens. We will let everyone know if we get an update.
