11/9/1908: A miniature rifle range and air rifle club has been formed in connection with the Church of England Young Men’s Society at their large room in St Edward’s Passage. The two targets can be placed in two positions – for shooting standing up or lying down – and two good air rifles have been provided. Englishmen should learn to shoot in order to defend their own hearths and homes and the Corporation should establish a range open almost all hours of the day. (Cam.News)
