Bagsy Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Went to Waltham Abbey today and had a round of sporting followed by a bash on the 2 gun flurry. Then learned the ground will be closing at the end of August after nearly 30 years (I've only been shooting it recently). Apparently closing due to a family feud. Remaining fixtures are: June 24th, July 8th & 22nd, August 5th & 19th. Details here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 When I spoke to Olly he said that he wasn't sure of the reason: how did this 'feud' come to light? It's anoying. I've made some good friends there since I've started shooting. I've shot at Olly's 'airfield' site only once and visited 3 Acres but never shot there. I guese it's time to meet Mungler and Co. at Billericay or Stock and make some new friends, but I would like to have done it under different circumstances.

Bagsy Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 It's a shame this ground will be lost, let's hope things sort themselves out at Essex Shooting Ground. We were told of the 'feud' today, not sure of the details (or whether they are true) as they are obviously the business of the owners but at least it doesn't appear to have anything to do with noise complaints etc, the usual reasons for trouble at grounds. Olly seemed to be taking it in his stride - never know, he may find another ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
