paulinlincs Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 After searching for a gun club near me (Grantham) I read on this forum about Glen Bank between Sleaford and Bourne. What a great friendly little club. Everybody out for a good laugh and some fresh air. Thank you to everyone there who made me feel very welcome.Cant wait to go again.

VicW Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Have you been to Orston ne'er Bottisford 20 times better than Glenbank Deershooter You are not comparing like with like. Glen Bank is a small,member run club with minimal catering facilities and only shoots sporting. Orston is a professionally run shooting ground business with multiple disciplines available ,excellent catering facilities, a gunshop and higher prices. Vic.
