Guest cookoff013 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 any. IMHO it has gone seriously downhill half the traps were not working. half the shooting stands were blocked (problems with one or both traps). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunderbust Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I use Lakenheath quite regular for the Black Powder shooting and have to agree that since I have been going, I don't think I have had a day that all the traps we visited have worked. In a lot of the break downs it has been the same ones that gave us hassle the week before. Due to the uncertainty of how long he can hold on to the place I think that he is spending little or no money on the maintenance of the place.

Hankbomb Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 The lakenheath website makes it look like it is some multi-million pound venue! http://www.lctc.co.uk/lakenheath-clay-pigeon-shooting-ground-suffolk.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mda998 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) i thought it had closed a couple of years ago it was one of the best around, Edited October 29, 2013 by mda998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJon Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 It used to be good. Had a club house fire a couple of years ago. Since then (to my knowledge) club house hasn't been re built, costs cut back and place had gone downhill because of it. Website is mainly pics from pre-fire when it was a great place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simster Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 As others have mentioned, not anything like it used to be per fire. I've also heard rumours that it will close very soon as the land owners (not the club owner) are developing or at least going to use the land for something else. Barrow Heath has a 100 ESP registered this Sunday and is not far from there, otherwise Cambridge GC as others have said (not been there myself yet). Hope you fire a few off.

DrQ Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 It`s a terrible shame about the fire. it really did knock the stuffing out of what was a great ground. Unfortunately It may be best to give it a miss... The Cambridge Gun Club is near by & it`s a very friendly club with good amount of sporting stands and a fab cafe... Well worth a look.

Sharpshooter.123 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 It isnt a rumor, it is closing. The lease expires next year and the mod have applied for planning permission to build military houses/married quarters. It's a Shame it's gone down hill. 3 years ago it was one of the best around!!

ozzy518 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I was there today. There is a court case pending regarding the lease. This is due to be heard in December . If successful , and Elvedon estates grant the lease, a new clubhouse will be built. As things stand, the place is not closing. Given the choice between Lakenheath and Cambridge gun club, and I've been to both, I prefer Lakenheath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
