Solar Panel Contract signed this week.

The contract to install 66 solar edge panels on the covered shooting area has been signed this week. Over the next month the installation will be completed, 3 phase electricity supply installed and the remainder of our lighting converted to LED’s. We will then be producing more electricity than we use!

We are also looking to install a grey water system to supply our toilets

Planning Application Submitted

Our Planning Consultants have submitted our application to extend the covered shooting area, install a viewing and social gathering area and a workshop for site maintenance and development.
