COVID 19 - Coronavirus Update 13th October 2020
Important Information
Dear Members
The Clyde Valley Pistol Club committee are pleased to announce that preparations are complete and that the club will be partially re-opening this week for FAC holders only. To facilitate this reopening and to comply with the social distancing measures required there will be some changes to how we used to operate. There will of course be new rules in place limiting the number of individuals in the clubhouse at any point, a new one-way system and introducing the requirement for PPE to be worn at all times.
Who can shoot?
Unfortunately, at this time the club guns will not be available therefore only those who have their own firearms can attend the club. The range will be set up for you attending with standard targets in place therefore it is important that when booking a slot, you select “rifle” or “pistol”.
Do I need to wear a mask?
Yes, you must always wear a mask while in the clubhouse. No masks will be provided therefore any members that attend without a mask will not be granted access. Hand sanitiser will be provided but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. All areas will be sanitised between details
When Can I Shoot?
The club will initially be open 2 days a week Wednesday and Friday commencing from 14th October. Slots will be limited and only 3 lanes will be available for shooters to utilise to ensure social distancing. Only those who have pre-booked a detail will be permitted to attend the club. Check in will be up to 15mins before your booked shooting slot. Anyone who shows up after the detail has started will not be granted access. The times for each detail are below. Please note - Shooting will not be permitted before 19.00hrs and after 21.45hrs
- Detail one – 19.00 to 19.30
- Detail two - 19.45 to 20.15
- Detail three - 20.30 to 21.00
- Detail four - 21.15.to 21.45
Please be aware that if the active committee member is not able to attend the club at short notice all sessions will be cancelled for that day. In such circumstances we will endeavour to notify members with bookings as quickly as possible.
Please note that you can only access the clubhouse 15 minutes prior to the start of your detail. Entry prior to this will not be permitted. Latecomers will also not be permitted.
How do I book?
To book a slot we will be using a self-service approach via Ezfacility our new club management tool. Members will receive an invitation to their registered email address so that they can set up their own passwords. The following details below provides guidance on how to do this and will be available on the CVPC Members Facebook Group. CVPC members self serve instructions

Following the Scottish Governments guidance, it is essential that your personal information is up to date. To help with this you will be able to update contact details on the self-service portal once you have registered.

Fob Entry
Fob entry is essential. To minimise point of contact the keypad will temporarily not be available.
Can I buy Ammunition?
We are working on introducing a contactless purchase system. This will not be available for the club opening however we will implement this system as quickly as possible. Until this is in place there will be no ammunition sales at the club so please ensure you bring your own.
Spotting Scopes
To minimise points of contact, the use of the club’s spotting scopes will be prohibited for the time being. If you require one, please bring your own.
Can I buy refreshments?
There will be no refreshments available at this time.
Will toilets be available?
Yes, we have made provision for the toilets to be available as normal. These will be sanitised in line with the new cleaning regime.
What about my membership fees?
Throughout lockdown Clyde Valley Pistol Club gave members the option to pause their membership fees. Once the club reopens under these new conditions FAC holders who are not self-isolating or shielding will be expected to commence payments in the usual manner.
Keep an eye on your emails, website, and the Facebook Group for further information as we get closer to the opening date and beyond.
Kind regards,
Yours Sincerely
Neil Robertson
Club Hon.Secretary
