Whittlesey Rifle Club…, followed by two days drying, followed by line painting plus another two more drying days after that. We can only let people back into the range when floor is fully hardened.
But the result already look amazing!
A big thank you to all the volunteers who spent time over the weekend cleaning up the range. It was a very pleasant surprise on arrival this morning. Volunteers are never named for fear of missing somebody but you know who you are. Thank you 🙏
Hats off to all our hard workers, you’ve done a more than fantastic job. I’m sure you’ll all agree the difference is outstanding!
Without members like you, who give up their time and effort to the club, our subscription would so much more.
The Range floor is now ready for painting, and the walls have been sanded and have had their first coat of fresh white paint and also their final coat! All the work progressed nicely and as planned, but could have been quicker with a few more working hands to help. Some members have volunteered their time this weekend to come to the range and clean, which is a great help! Unfortunately the main volunteers, who have given the club so much of their time and effort already, will not be at the Range on Sunday. Other members are requested to come down and help clean the Range. Everything should then be back to normal Monday! Floor undercoat starts 10am Saturday.
The Floor grinding is finally finished!
We have now started the preparation work for painting the whole range. All the surfaces are being keyed and repaired.
The transformation starts soon!!
The Range floor has now been groud back to a smooth concrete finish. We can’t stress enough how hard all the volunteers work in their own free time. We are now ahead of schedule, so we are now improving on the work that has already carried out, before the big pre-paint clean-up begins! We will be asking for volunteers on a day in the near future. So if you can spare some time, please watch this space. Oh and we might have snacks…..!
Speedier progress today, thankfully. The workers are doing us proud.
The next free taster sessions are going to be held as follows.

The essential maintenance to the floor has begun. Here are some “before” pictures.
It does mean the range is closed until the work is complete, but we’re certain it will be worth the wait!
We are all very thankful to those that have stood up for our Country’s freedom, and the Whittlesey Rifle Club makes no exception in our Remembrance.
We unite with our town in Remebrance and reflect on both past and current commitments, as our Fenland town becomes awash with beautiful and meaningful poppies.
We will Remember them.
