Nice site Bob, very interesting reading.

Which part of Rossendale is the club in?

Kind regards,

Hi Phil,

Rossendale MTC is very easy to find from Bury as you will enter Rawtenstall from the M66 and take the Burnley exit from the roundabout. You will see the large ASDA store on your left after about a hundred yards or so.

If you were to park in the ASDA carpark and look back across the Burnley Road you will have parked your car more or less dead opposite RMTC that currently shoots 10 meter pistol in the cellar under the church hall behind Rossendale Models model shop and the last Temperence Bar in the UK "Fitzpatrics".

We shoot from 7pm to 10 pm on Tuesday and Thursday and you would be welcome to come along to see us anytime.

ATB - Bob.

Hello Bob,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I know both the places you mention, and hope to pop along soon.

Always good to find a local club full of fellow enthusiasts.

Is the entrance obvious?

Kind regards,



Phil

The entrance is fairly obvious, you enter the Longholme Methodist Church grounds through the gate ( always open) next to Fitzpatricks and walk up to the main entrance steps at the front of the building (these also have a ramp for wheelchair access).

Go in through the first pair of double doors to the entrance hall and in through the double doors to the main hall.

If there are any model heicopters being flown, turn left and walk around the edge of the hall to the back and into the back room with the superb kitchens on your left where you will be greeted and asked to "sign-in".

The cost to shoot is £4 per night, or £6 for first time visitors to include basic pistol coaching and safety instruction with the use of a club pistol and some targets.

Tea and/or coffee is included in the £4 fee, and everyone is very friendly and helpful to make newcomers feel at ease and welcome.

Hope to see you soon - bring your Model 5 - if you come this week you can also have a go at the MPL !

Last night we gained a new club member - Gordon (who will travel from Bolton to shoot with us each week) - and forced him into action in the MPL on his first night.

Bit of an ask really, first night nerves and all that, but welll done and welcome to RMTC.

We also welcomed Ian who has completed his Provisional Membership period and has now joined us a a full member and becomes a valuable club asset.

What! You mean like the dry rot and the club rat? Ive never been called an 'asset' before .... similar but not quite.

Its a pleasure to be a part of such a distinct bunch of shooters who have such a sensible approach to life and living when away from the firing line.
What we lack in numbers we make up for in friendliness.

TA for that Bob i think it was the speed in which you relieved me of the membership fee,that caused my hand to wobble so much that and maybe the experience of shooting almost along side the esteemed I J , Good to meet you again Ian.. Oh i`m in full time training now,lifting a couple of pint`s of Becks to tone up my shoulder muscles ????. A T B Gordon.

I did intend to pop along on Tuesday, but got delayed at work.

Am hoping to make Thursday.

Will bring: Original 6G, Gamo Compact, ROHM Twinmaster, and maybe a match grade Gat.

Where's the best place to park?

Kind regards,



Phil
