    New Gun Club - Goucestershire

    Thinking of setting up a new club if I can find a suitable venue somewhere around Moreton in Marsh.

    Will be air and possibly rimmie if I can swing it.

    If you are interested drop me a line. Want to get a handle on how many I need to sell the idea.

    Let me know if your air or rim or both.

    Looking at HFT and FT and bench....3 position etc.

    Probably all moderated kit.

    Thanks

    Steyr

    If it helps, when we set Shebbear up fifteen years ago it was clear from our business plan modelling that we needed a minimum of 30 members to make it commercially viable for what we planned to do, and it also seemed that a ceiling of 75 or thereabouts would be sensible as beyond that we would need tighter financial controls, like departmental budgeting etc. We wanted to keep it simple.

    Once you bring in any live ammo then all the rules change.

    Hi Steyr,

    Don't give up, as that is a dynamic task you have set yourself, and when (being positive, am saying when, not if) you pull it off, you can be justifiably very VERY proud of yourself.

    To try and gauge -- and attract -- local support at grass roots level, then, please may I suggest you call or visit all the RFD's in, say, a 25 mile radius of where you would ideally like to site said club, and ask the proprietors if they would be prepared to help you enlist support, via a notice of some description on their notice board? After all, it is in their interest as businessmen to help promote interest in shooting via shooting clubs, so I'll bet many of them will support and even help you?

    Good luck with your endeavours, and please keep us posted. Atvb: Gareth.

    It is a web site for HFT and FT folk. STB stands for 'Shoot The Breeze'. Do a Google. Hope this helps?
