02/07/2010 School Summer Holidays
Please note the following changes to club arrangements during the school summer holidays
  • Matthew Humberstone have just notified us that there will be major works taking place on the school site during the summer holidays (23rd July 2010 to 6th September 2010)
  • This means access will be by Philip Avenue entrance only.
  • We will have NO access to the sportshall, which also means there will be no access to the toilets.
  • Access to the equipment container will be severely limited to key holders only so if you require stuff out of the container, please arrive before 10am to reduce the number of trips necessary.

  • I think we should move Sunday shooting to Carr Lane for the duration (final decision to be advised)
  • Mid week evening shooting at Carr Lane is unaffected.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

12/06/2010 Chatsworth Place Closed 19th and 20th June 2010. Use alternative entrance in Philip Avenue
We have just been informed that the school entrance in Chatsworth Place, Cleethorpes will be closed on June 19th 2010 due to road surfacing work. Please use the school entrance in Philip Avenue Cleethorpes instead. From the A1031 Humberstone Avenue, turn into Brian Avenue. Philip Avenue is the first left turning. As you proceed down Philip Avenue, just after the road veers right, take the small left turn. The school entrance is 50m down this small road. Brian Avenue can also be accessed from Sandringham Road, in which case Philip avenue is the 2nd turning on the right. Apologies for any inconvenience, but this matter is beyond our control
