Salop Matt Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Does anyone know why the shop etc has shut. I went there on saturday and its ground i enjoy shooting, I know Geroge the farther died but that shouldnt shut the shop. The staff were always nice and friendly and they always had a good selection on the shelf. Can anyone shed any light on it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavvy Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Arthur was the father and your right he has passed away. I understand that the ground and shop is in the process of being sold to Avalon Guns of Street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Could be a matter of splitting up his estate for family members who want the money now? Either way I hope it keeps running, it's a good shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to sell to pay it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavvy Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 splitting up his estate for family membersavalon is not buying the ground or shop Well they were intending too when I last spoke to them a few months ago, maybe it didn't work out. All of the gun stock went to Avalon after Arthur died, the only stuff left was the accessories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
