    North East clubs, ranges

    Hi everyone, I am re-entering the fold after nearly a 10 year hiatus.
    What places do us folk from the northeast have to shoot?
    I used to be a member at Thorndell, frequented Bob Dunkleys and Steve Smiths.
    I know Thorndell is long gone but are the others? Know of anywhere else?

    Many thanks

    Steve Smith's is still going and MUCH improved. Plus if Field Target floats your boat there is a course out, but PM me for more info about that. I used the be a member of Thorn Dell untill they closed 2014.

    Thorn Dell.

    Hello,
    The reason for the closure was because the farmer retired, the land was sold off and the new owner told us to pack and go. It was originally started by Paul Wilson (the stock maker) he lived in the local village.
    One of our members was John Costello 2 x FT World Champion, a real cool customer and very pleasant with it.
