🚨 STOP THE PRESS! WE’VE GOT HEATERS… AND THEY’RE REMOTE CONTROLLED! 🔥📡
Remember our August update when we mentioned “Moveable Heaters” as our next club project?
Well, jings… we’ve only gone and done it! 😎
Both our air r***e and smallbore firing points now have movable heaters with HAND-HELD REMOTE CONTROLS! No more getting up to adjust them. Luxury or what? 😂
Perfect for our wee bit vertically challenged shooters too… no more stretching, tiptoeing or recruiting a taller club member!
💡 BUT THAT’S NO’ ALL!
We’ve also fitted shiny new LED lighting throughout the range, improving visibility and hopefully saving a few pennies on the electricity bill. The Treasurer might even crack a smile! 💷
Add that to our Sports Quantum targets, and our range is getting a rather impressive upgrade!
🏆 A WEE BIT OF HISTORY
On 17th October 1953, the Northern Scot and Moray & Nairn Express reported:
“The new r***e range opened in Forres claimed as the finest civilian range North of Aberdeen.”
We might no longer hold that accolade, but we’re working hard to modernise our facilities while respecting the proud heritage of our club.
A massive thank you to everyone helping make these improvements happen! 👏
👍 LIKE if you’re impressed and SHARE to help spread the word about what’s happening at the club!
Go on, gie us a wee like! It costs ye nowt, and it might just keep the Treasurer warm inside! 😂🔥

🔥 OUR NEXT PROJECT… MOVABLE HEATERS! 🔥
Our last project update ended with the immortal wee question…
“Right then… what’s the next project?”
Well… MOVABLE HEATERS! 😂
Aye. Movable. Heaters.
We know what you’re thinking…
“Surely they’ve lost the plot now.”
And perhaps you’re right! 🤣

But if you’ve ever spent a freezing winter evening on either firing point, you’ll appreciate that this is nothing short of Scottish engineering genius! 🇬🇧🔧
Our new heaters are being fitted with trolley hangers running along a ceiling-mounted rail, allowing them to glide smoothly along the air firing point to wherever the warmth is most desperately required.

No more everyone mysteriously gravitating towards the same heater like penguins in Antarctica! 🐧🥶
And because we're nothing if not fair-minded — and keen to avoid a full-scale civil war over heater ownership — once the air firing point is complete, the smallbore firing point will be getting the same treatment!
So that’s another improvement underway. 🔥

Which naturally brings us to the next important question…
“What madcap engineering marvel will the committee dream up next?” 🤔😂

Well… that depends on you!
Every improvement we make costs money, and that’s where our fantastic supporters come in.
If you’d like to help us keep improving the club, please hit the DONATE button on our GoFundMe page and chuck a few quid into the pot.
💷 Every pound helps.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us — maybe one day we’ll achieve our dream of a new (warm) club! 🏠🔥
