Hello Robert,
Dinnington has a good Plinking range which you can use all day for £5 excellent value, gets really busy on Fridays and the weekend. There is another range at Swarland owned by Stuart (stealthhunter) who is really keen, built a great range and will soon have a 10m indoor range. If you want a little competition you should have a look at Thorndell nr Bishop Middleton Durham very difficult to get membership they are very careful who they allow to become members but keep trying its worth it.
PS have a good look around at the type of rifles people are using first and the type of shooting you want to do, you cannot spend it twice.
Hope this helps
