Can I have a copy of the email that says it's closed to all civilians, please?

Sorry, I didn't get one... that was my interpretation of what I posted.. I guess I just looked into it too closely when the title of the email quoted was entitled "Kingsbury Closed!!!" I should point out this is a relayed message, not straight from anyone at Kingsbury or Landmarc.

From my conversation I was given the impression that, as the thread title states, there was a calibre restriction only. It might of course lead to a closure if it is found that remedial work is required, but I have no information on whether any work is needed and if it is needed what the extent of the work would be. If I get any information like that I will release it on the NRA website (and copy it here if someone doesn't beat me to it!).
FWIW, the restriction applies to all range users, not just civilians.

Oh right, I see!
Unfortunately I doubt my club will have enough < 7.62 calibres to arrange a meeting anyhow :(

Any news on this? I did hear a few more rumours today saying all .30Cal is stopped but that was about all.

6.5x55 - OK
7.5x55 - NO, it's 30cal.
