The MoD continues to experience unprecedented demand from military users for ranges and training facilities in Wales and the West Midlands. This is driven by a number of factors and compounded by capacity constraints caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.  The NRA, working with our colleagues in the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has agreed a phased resumption of bookings for NRA affiliated Clubs.

Club officials are responsible for the conduct of individual members and must ensure compliance with Covid-19 guidelines, particularly the restrictions set by Welsh Government that prohibit travel into Wales from a Tier 3 location in England.   Details are available here   https://wtsf.org.uk/coronavirus-update-3rd-december/   and here for England

Club officials must ensure that range bookings comply with MoD policy including the limit of 30 people per booking and local Covid-19 restrictions.  RCO’s should conduct a recce, check range orders as these may have changed, update the Covid-19 risk assessment for the shoot and RASP/RSD.

DIO has confirmed the following availability for NRA affiliated Clubs, Club officials should contact the local Landmarc event co-ordinator to arrange bookings.

Ranges not shown above (example Sennybridge J range) are either closed or not available for non MoD users.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. The NRA will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates accordingly.

Please contact Nic Couldrey, Regional Ranges Manager, if you have specific questions.
