The Rossendale Club will be shooting the new Springer Pistol Competition shortly ( see BBS thread) and would welcome any local pistol shooters that would like to have a go.
We are also planning a friendly match series based on these rules against Rivington Riflemen, so it should be good fun.
Rossendale Target Shooting Club. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening 7 - 10pm.
I recently became a member of Rossendale M.T.C. after my first visit where I was made to be very welcomed amongst the group of friendly pistol enthusiasts. It made a great change and culture shock from the 'Star Wars Bar' at Rivington.
Bob is working hard at formulating the rules for an inter club pistol competition were the emphasis will be on fun while introducing some people, who wouldn't normally bother with 'serious' competition (like me ) and at the same time promoting the sport of air pistol shooting.
Who will I be shooting for? Ross M.T.C. of course because I like being on the winning side.

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
