Recent changes to firearms law we need to be aware of :
The Firearms Act 2023 –
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/49/enacted
The Firearms (Amendment) Rules 2023 –
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/77/rule/2/made
The basic effects of these changes are:
- Extra security rules for some rifles
- Firearm certificate now required for miniature (.22rf) rifle ranges/galleries.
- Making it an offence to possess reloading components with intent.
There are also changes to the Home Office criteria for club approval, but these are under review as they didn’t take into account the 2023 Act. They will only be published on-line. Once they are published, I’ll put a link here, with an explanation.
BEWARE!
Cheshire Police have asked us to make everyone aware that they have intelligence that – in the Greater Manchester Area – members of target shooting clubs may be being followed home from the club by criminals from orgainsed crime groups, with a view to stealing guns from their cars or homes.
I know you are all aware of this possibility particularly at Sealand but thankfully all our venues are in places which make it obvious if someone was waiting to follow us, but be alert to the risk!
How many crimes are committed with rifles I can’t say, but sawn-off shotguns might be making a come-back. Either way, we don’t want to lose our valuable firearms!

Lorna Williams
We have just heard that Lorna Williams – the wife of our founder Roy and the first treasurer of the club – has died in hospital. The funeral is a 1.30 on Thursday 27th July 2023 at the South Chapel, Landican .
Following Roy’s death Lorna rather lost contact with the club, but we know that some of our less-young members will remember her.
