Sacramento county has released an updated order that will allow SVSC to reopen. In order to reopen we must adhere to a strict set of guidelines to ensure we are able to remain open. Our biggest challenge in that regard is the tight confines of the existing range office. Therefore we will be reopening in the NEW range office. That poses its own set of challenges we must work through. Range staff is diligently working through those challenges and we expect to be able to open on Monday, May 4th.
As with everything in these trying times things won’t exactly be back to normal when we initially reopen. With that in mind we will be using the following as a guide during the reopening process:
- Only Members and their guests for a period of at least 2 weeks.
- Will be running at limited capacity on all ranges in order to comply with the social distancing orders.
- Matches may resume; however, match directors will need to submit their plans for safely holding their match to ensure social distancing. Their plans will require review and approval of the board of directors before a match can be held. Wayne Johnson, the FSC board chairman of the shooting discipline committee will head this project. All match directors should provide Wayne with their match plans for review. Wayne will forward completed plans to the board for approval.
- Vendors may resume training activities but are required to adhere to Sacramento county social distancing policies. They will need to submit their plans for safely having training sessions to the Operations manager for review and approval before the training session can take place.
- Law enforcement training may resume but they must adhere to Sacramento county social distancing policies.
- Range reservations will be accepted for all ranges but the person putting in the reservations would be responsible for adhering to Sacramento county social distancing policies.
The past month and a half has been a very trying time for all of us. Thank you to all who have understood that we’ve done our best to keep our members/staff safe and healthy, adhere to the state and county mandates, and position ourselves to reopen as quickly as we can.
Now, let’s go shoot!
Thanks,
Brad
