⚠️ Important Announcement ⚠️
SSAA Newcastle Branch will be closed this weekend the 18th/19th of January due to a major power outage in the Port Stephens area and ongoing heavy rains, which have made the range unsafe for shooting. 🚫
As you can appreciate, we cannot operate without power. The RED/GREEN lights, safety briefings, and roof lights over the firing line are essential for safe operations, not to mention the registration and sign-in process, which becomes almost impossible without power.
We understand this will be disappointing for many of our members and visitors, and we truly appreciate your understanding.
If you know someone who is planning to visit the range, please share this post to help spread the word.
Stay safe and take care, everyone!
