welshwarrior Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 To buy a shooting club it's probably easier to look for one that's established and not doing that well, so you can offer a cheeky price for it If you hear of one let me know I've been looking for a while SW2000 could be interesting!!!

HDAV Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) To buy a shooting club it's probably easier to look for one that's established and not doing that well, so you can offer a cheeky price for it Or just dig a hole and throw money in............Even BIG successful grounds have issues (southern Counties for example) Take it from me turning a hobby into a business venture is one sure way to ruin a hobby! If you hear of one let me know I've been looking for a while SW2000 could be interesting!!! £700k was the rumour no idea if he still wants to sell as his other business went bust..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-17114946 Edited October 18, 2013 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Rixton Clay Club, off the East Lancs Road has changed hands a few times in the last few years. Might be worth a nosey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Now that's very close to me Gordon , however there is a club that I think may be sold at a price, and wonders could be done to the grounds to bring it to the 21st century Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Willpoon - I am sure it could easily be improved - car parking, better food facilities and a bit of imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 There were a couple of shoots near us run very badly that could have been developed into something worthwhile. One just disappeared - the bloke tried to sell it for a daft price and with no takers it got shut. The other is still bumping along the bottom - a massive health and safety claim / problem in waiting. However, you take something you do for fun and then make it something that's it's important for you to earn from and your love for it will die very quickly. There's easier ways to make a bit of cash, but if you own a restaurant you will already know this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
