Nice one.... even though i'm a member of Ford and Yapton 'Rifle' Club, i havent had chance yet to visit 'Ford' ranges so i'm pleased its getting a good report.

Many members do of course visit and love the place.

Please be aware we are affiliated to Ford ranges only.

Someone told me it's a members only place, is that true or can anyone use it?

Rob.

[geoffd69]

yes it is members only, but you can take guests, costs a bit more, but well worth it, cost £65 a year with a one off charge off £15 when you join for a police check

It's a geat place, my lad joined about 5/6 months ago and has beeen going to their youth nights once a week since then, I have now joined and can only say they have been both very welcoming and a great source of advice and help. Many members there will let you try out there equipment and freely spend time giving you the benefit of their experience.

A lot of major changes to the layout at the moment but the plans for the future are brilliant with more ranges and new space in the pipeline.

Cheers
