Here is the detail: • Everyone is welcome. • The gate will open at 16h00 on 18 May 2015. • No entrance fee will be charged. Food stalls will be available. • No alcohol is allowed on the range. • Try and bring own camping chairs. You may also make use of the rocks behind the shooting point. • Bring warm clothing and ear protection (the guns tends to be load). • Small children are not encouraged due to the noise of the guns. • Various equipment and military exhibits will be on display. • NO person MAY cross the barrier in front of the shooting point. • No objects may be picked up at the range. • Live firing will only last for 20 minutes from 19:00. • Bring your friends and family along. • Weapons that will be displayed include Olifant Tanks, Rooikat Armoured Cars, Ratel Combat Vehicles, Mortars, Rifles and Machine Guns, Light Artillery, Motorised Infantry (Mambas), Medium Artillery (G5 and G6), Rooivalk Attack Helicopters, Air Defence Artillery, Engineers and Tactical Intelligence Equipment to name but a few. • The route to the range is the N8 towards Petrusburg (Kimberley).
