A lot of people are evidently in denial over this pandemic, if the pics taken at some of the beaches are anything to go by.......

Perhaps the police should keep a record of those "stopped and advised" as well as those fined.
Then, when it comes to a vaccination programme, if your name is on the list, you go to the end of the vaccination list.

11. Lavatory facilities will be open. To be used in emergencies only please.
12. ...
13. ...
14. ...
15. ...
16. Lavatory facilities are closed to prevent contamination
7. Clients are required to wear suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Without stating what they expect the PPE to be
They also mention about the pods being disinfected after each use, but there's no mention of the fact that you need to operate the buttons on each stand to operate the clays, so, err......?
As someone has already pointed out, social distancing is already being ignored on public transport and elsewhere in the past week since restrictions have been 'relaxed'.
I expect it won't be too long before there will be another spike in infections and serious cases in hospitals.

One - the No Risk At All bunch. Any risk at all is too great for them. Schools should stay closed as 'it's far too early to even consider reopening' .... etc, etc. This group appears to include inward relocating retirees from the towns and cities to many English scenic and coastal areas and a lot of people in rural Wales and the north of Scotland. It would also appear to include the members and executives of some public sector trade unions.
Two - the I Can't stand another day cooped up in this flat. B*gg*r the government and social distancing - I'm off to the seaside bunchgroup.
Three - the In-Betweeners who migrate between group one and two attitudes according to the latest thing they've seen online or on the box or as the implications of the lockdown on jobs, holidays, children's education and future prosperity gradually sink in.
I reckon (quite unscientifically and lacking any data ha! ha!) that grp one is now hard-core and will stay that way until there hasn't been a recorded Covid-19 case for 12 or more months or there is a guaranteed 100% reliable vaccine. Therefore many members of this group will die without ever restarting normal life. (Some have little option of course as infection may have a high probability of death due to serious health conditions.) Grp 2 is growing and pressure will soon blow the top off the pressure cooker leading to near civil unrest and threats of public disorder in some extreme cases. Grp 3 is moving towards 2 in that a combination of pressures from semi-lockdown, uncut hair, comments from Matt 'No lavish foreign holidays this year' Hancock, kids stuck at home, but most of all worries about incomes, or even whether there is going to be any employment left at all once things are fully eased and how are we going to eat / pay the mortgage? are growing by the day. From here on in the economic news will get worse with almost every new day bringing news of another major employer going into receivership or laying off half its workforce permanently. Fear of unemployment and penury will soon overtake fear of the virus and there will be near revolt if the government doesn't move relaxation on faster.

Hello
You could bet money that if two or more shooters turned up on the range for a socially distanced event (Not including family members)
the police and press would be all over the occurrence like a rash

Hello
Eventually somebody has finally asked wondered when. Just being polite in greeting before expressing a point of view, post, sale etc

Re: Timeframe release of the lockdown for open air ranges ?
In our part of Lincolnshire all conversations begin with 'Now then' which seems to be a universal male greeting. In Denmark I soon learnt 'Goddav' was the more rural greeting and translates to 'Good Day' however the sophisticated and more refined types would never use such a greeting, hence I use it all the time in DK which does seem to provoke a wry smile from some.
