We note that the number of active cases on the Island has now surpassed 800. We all know what happened the last time the numbers hit this high. As a precaution, the Club's previously adopted COVID-19 Guidelines (which can be found at the Clubroom) are to apply in full immediately. Accordingly:

• Facemasks must be worn by all members and visitors to the Club
• No more than four rifle shooters per detail on the range
• Members should seek to distance from fellow members while in the Club-room
• If any equipment is shared between members or visitors this should be wiped down

Whilst the decision taken is disappointing, we hope you appreciate the intention behind it.

If members could communicate this to fellow members and any visitors they wish to bring along that would be much appreciated.

We have recently been considering Government guidance on Covid 19. The JSSA has taken the decision to cancel both the IKO and Division 1 and 2 Tie Shoots this Friday. Jersey Sport has also cancelled some events.

In light of this we have taken the difficult decision to CLOSE the Club until further notice but we hope that you appreciate that this decision based on the current circumstances. Our priority is always to ensure that our members are safe and we do not want to expose you to unnecessary risk. We also do not want to expose the Club to reputational damage.

We will continue to monitor government guidance as and when it is issued and will update you further as and when the Club will reopen.

Please can share this so that it can get to as many members as possible..
