North East clubs, ranges

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.

Yes it was a good set up, very windy but good.
I always thought Stuart Percival started and run Thorndell.

Hi, Yes Stuart did take over later along with Steve Littlefair. And to a lesser degree Lenny Mensforth & John Harper.

Good old days, Thorndell and Bilsdale, now we have nothing up here really.
