southrop Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Just heard that BGC will close at there 'new' ground at Ringley? If so very disappointing and haven't been there yet! They seem to be having a bit of a hard time after the A6 debacle. Anyone know if this is true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) I haven't been to the Ringley ground, although I live about 1 mile away, as the crow flies. From their web site:- We have been asked to stop shooting at Ringley on the 30th sept. very disappointing following all the hard work put in by both members & guests to get the site fit for shooting. Anyone visiting after 30th please check web site to see if we will be shooting. The committee are working to try & reverse this and exploring other venues. It's a shame, as they are a thoroughly decent bunch of people. Edited September 7, 2012 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enumber Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Some silly NIMBY apparently. It must be unbearable having you peace and quiet disturbed one morning a fortnight!! Selfish ****! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
