Local Lads visit Semer Air Rifle Club
(Article from T Sanger, Hadleigh Community News November 2010)
Be Active and the new partnership with Semer Air Rifle Club looks very promising. On Tuesday 21st September Peter Swinney (BDC Estate Ranger) and Stephanie Lloyd (BDC CDO) brought over two Be Active youngsters to the club - not an opportunity they would normally have been able to have but the Semer Air Rifle club were able to offer the youngsters a chance to take part in target shooting a safe, structured and friendly environment and the chance to be educated in the safe use of airguns. The youngsters learned the laws regarding airgun usage and the safe handling of the airguns - they were then able to receive tuition ion the outdoor and then indoor shooting range. Be Active hope to make these visits more regular and also involve the club in some outreach sessions.
The club runs every Tuesday 7.30 pm at Semer village Hall,

Trialists included Chief Constable Simon Ash, Pc Barry Simpson and Suffolk Police Authority Chairman Colin Spence.
