Two hundred bucks to register the Club doesn't sound too onerous.

So far @Percy Jones has identified that the Waikato Club had to close (or relocate) because the back drop (bank) didn't meet the new safety standard. Not being able to ensure the safety of the surrounding community sounds like a pretty good reason to close a range. Safety should be the number one priority.

Percy, was the Club able to find new, compliant site?

What are the, "Too onerous tasks," which Nicole McKee referred too as cause of all these Club closing?
