Club Probationary Members & Club Guest Day Attendees
Probationary Members of affiliated clubs do not require an SCC. Club Guest Day attendees do not require an SCC but have to complete a Section 21 declaration form at all events.

I'd like to put faces to some of the names on here.
Count me in for definite if it's down Bisley/Chobham way, and a strong maybe for up north/ southern Scotland.

Chobham ridges sounds fun, but damned expensive at £100 a head for five people. You'd want plenty of rounds to get your range fee's worth in.

Dont really want to start the "Chobham" debate all over again but you will probably spend more on ammo than the fee.
I am biased but it really is a hoot. Not like you are forced into doing it every week! Just think how much you have saved over the past 6 months by not going shooting. Piles of ammo just sat there taunting you.

Booking a Board meeting at Marc Gardner's range in Eskdalemuir would be an awesome opportunity to met up in Dumfriesshire and release some canned bangs back into the wild !
