Coronavirus Update

Update from Darlington Rifle and Pistol Club Chairman 

First, I trust that everyone is safe and well during this terrible time. Lockdowns and restrictions have taken their toll on the way we live and our enjoyment of hobbies.

I’m sure you will have listened to news items and read about the stringent measures on meetings and activities advocated by the Government to address the Corona Virus epidemic. 

All shooting ranges are closed at present.  I cannot see indoor ranges opening this year and we won’t be wanting to shoot outdoors until the spring. 

As I write this we have just had good news about vaccine development so let us hope that in the New Year a programme of successful vaccination gets under way.  

In turn we will have to wait until such time as the risk of becoming infected or of infecting others is minimised and trust that then the MoD opens up facilities for us to enjoy shooting once again.
Please look after yourselves.

With best wishes,
