Good Evening,
Please find attached a Holcombe Moor TC Large Calibre Blank Firing Notice for 2nd May 2023, this is an unusual notice due to not being Living Firing. However due to the excessive noise that will be produced from the blank firing from the 105 Artillery gun you may wish to advise friends and neighbours so they do not panic or worry about the noise which will occur between 8pm and 9pm on Tuesday evening.
Best wishes
John Southworth
