A lot of work has happened on the Archery Range, the All-Purpose Shelter and Climbing Wall at Garners Field.
Archery
Thank you to Kristal Derrick (Hampshire Scouts Assessor) for helping to finalise the design, Ray Deare (Monday Crew) for creating the range design including organising materials and putting it together with the help of the Monday Crew – oh and getting a grant to help pay for this and the shelter improvements, Gary Thain (Warden) for organising the bows, arrows and targets.
The range is a Come and Try It range and governed by the Archery GB rules in regard to set up/equipment. The range can be booked via the Campsite booking form; 1.5 hour session is £25 including borrowing equipment (£10 with your own equipment.)

All Purpose Shelter
The shelter is used for shooting activities; as such it has now been refitted to ensure this is safer and there is less damage to the structure.
Thank you to Hamish and Kim White for co-ordinating the requirements and doing the work on the refit.
The shelter must be booked via the Campsite Booking form and costs £10 per 1.5hr session; there is no District fire arms however Tongham Hogshots and 5th Farnham (Bourne) do have fire arms and we have a number of NRSA qualified leaders across the District – please ask.
Climbing Wall
Our climbing wall has been inspected and is now in line with the relevant standards.
Thank you to Neil Peerman (DNSC/GSL/Exec), Bill Weller (GSL/Exec), Philip German (Warden) and Gary Thain (Warden) for their hard making repairs, pulling together the necessary paperwork and co-ordinating work done to get the wall pass the inspection.
The wall will re-open in the new year once all equipment has been review and renewed as appropriate and safe.
The wall must be booked via the Campsite booking form.
