**** Further Car Park Update / All Members
Please Read ****
Please see the following updated message from Malcolm concerning the 'new' carpark
Until we can discuss the situation with the sec of Wirral
Rugby it is essential that we do not upset the committee. Parking in the access
area adjacent to the gate, on the road seems to upset local residents and rugby
are sensitive to this. Also climbing over the gates
and fences seems to create some issues.
We hope to resolve this with a meeting shortly and establish
why the pedestrian gate has also been locked.
However having walked to the normal shooting area from the 2
gates the access from the main club car park is only 12 paces further than from
the field gate.
As both gates field and pedestrian gates are locked at the
moment it is probable easier for all to gain access to the archery area from
the main car park and walk round the pathway.
As disabled may struggle to get all their equipment round by
this route we would as if assistance be afforded to them from able bodied
members.
Not sure if it would assist if we had each others mobile
numbers so we can contact each other to request assistance.
The car park is now seeded and the hope is that the area can
be available for parking in a couple of months

**** Car Park Update / All Members Please

Please see the following message from Malcolm concerning the 'new' carpark
Over the next few weeks / month the
This will mean during this period the car park will be out
of use for all , for parking or access to the
fields.
The area is to be soiled and then seeded and once the grass
has grown the surface will be covered with a matting to allow vehicles to
park without damage to the surface.
This is to comply with conditions relating to the Planning
Application and should have been completed some time ago, and will present a
green surface finish to the area.
With this in mind we are looking at relocating archery to the top field using the original container
equipment so disabled can park in the gate access splays and be close to the
shooting area. Both areas for shooting will still be used with the
main area affected being access for the disabled
Also until the matter is resolved we propose to postpone
the Club Championships planned for the 3 July until access in resolved.
Any queries I should be down on Sunday to discuss. please note parking on the stoned car park OK for this
Sunday as work to start on Monday, and also Bikers Rally on the front car
park area.
The Tri Clout event is also affected and we are looking at
alternatives.
