There have been a number of requests for this sort of event to be held during the summer months, and (thanks to Alex!) we now have this date at Brimstage. There are a few things to be confirmed yet such as the menu (including vegetarian options, general format and so on) which we'll post here […]
For those who have kindly volunteered to help - many thanks - we now have enough hands to the pumps! We'll give the clubroom a severe looking at (well, cleaning ...) try to fix the roof leak, paint and repair the backstop, clean and re-organise the range, and any other minor things that need doing.
This will be at the Neston Cricket club - who have been very good to us over the years, and has proved to be a most welcoming venue. https://thenestonclub.co.uk/parkgate-clubhouse The price (subsidised from club funds) will be £25 per adult, £20 for juniors. This is the ocassion when we all get together without having to […]
We are more than a little disapointed and annoyed about this, as I know you are, but It seems that the MoD have a better form of weather forecasting than the rest of the world, so they know that there will be flooding at Sealand in two weeks time. I am typing this at 11:30 […]
The results of the survey we set up earlier in the year made it clear that a Wednesday in December was the clear winner for the date. We have managed to reserve the same room at the Neston Cricket Club, but we will need to know the numbers, as below a certain level the costs […]
Keith has organised a competition at Altcar V our friends at Grange Rifle & Pistol Club. We are sorry that not everyone who wanted to enter was not able to as places are very limited. An e-mail has been sent to everyone attending with rules, timing, instructions etc etc. ..... and GOOD LUCK !
NO, I'm not making it up. An "amber protected bird" is nesting on A range backstop and therefore the MoD have closed the range temporarily until the eggs have hatched. There are no suitable substitute dates within two months, so with considerable rerget we have to CANCEL this shoot. B*&&3R ! We will have a […]
Unfortunately the Sealand shoot has been cancelled, and there are a few maintence matters to attend to at the Sheepshed range if anyone could come and help us? Painting the range floor, cleaning the clubroom and range, repairing the CCTV system, weeding the path, various other painting bits, backstop maintenance, repairing the range rifle rack […]
WE'RE VERY SORRY - WE'VE HAD TO CANCEL THIS SHOOT Unfortunately, storm Amy has proved to be longer than forecast, with winds up to 43 MPH and rain on Sunday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/8299616 https://weather.metoffice.gov.uk/forecast/gcmz4jnnm#?date=2025-10-05 We are naturally very disappointed after the struggle to get this date.
NB: FRIDAY. Our bid for this date has been granted subject to the usual caveat about military units having precedence, although this should be unlikely. As usual if you need any equipment or ammunition, please let us know beforehand so that we can bring it along. Nowadays it's important that we have a fair idea […]
