    I had a lovely day out at Iden Ferns ..

    I don't get to go to clubs often currently due to time constraints, one of the reasons I indulge in BBS so often in between other keyboarding .......


    I haven't been to Iden for a while so was really happy to see new owners with a wider zero / plinking range, renovated/replaced covered benches, and experience the joy of shooting round the lake and the two separate hft style lanes

    It is big, and really is worth a visit for those who haven't been before.

    For anyone within 90 minutes drive or maybe more, well worthwhile Currently open Sat & Sun, pay and shoot.

    I expect they'll be into comps and stuff again for those inclined that way.

    I remember when Tony set the place up, and know how hard Andy worked to keep it maintained. The new owners have breathed fresh energy into it, and are a family to share the workload. Onwards and upwards for Iden, all great stuff for air gun shooters

    Well said mate!
    Iv been a member at Iden Ferns for five years now!
    And the new owners have worked wonders in the short time since the take over.
    They have loads of plans in the pipeline for the future.

    Things are really looking up for the club.
    After years of neglect,things are really taking off.

    These owners are pumping money in,and its looking real good.
    Those that live nearby come and see for yourselves..

    A big thank you to Peter & Barbara Weeks & Kevin Weeks and Daniel Leddy..

    In fairness, I think the previous incarnation was actually down to goodwill for shooters from a passionate individual and unprofitable (for them) support from a local gunshop ....

    I wouldn't say neglect, but good to see onwards and upwards ......
