marco you missed another one Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi sparkmark, No its not true, there are many good points, first of all if you haven't land well its as a newbe its really good to join because NPPC will send you a list of lands were you can go and shoot as much as you like. Second you don't need to go and know any Farmers to ask them permission. Third I think you get BAsc insurance with the joining of the club. I think that its excellent for the annual fee needed. I use to one of the members but after a while you start to know Farmers and I got a few permissions now. So I think overall very good.

CARBINE Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) Hi Sparkymark, Im a member and travel over 120 miles to shoot in north Yorkshire and believe me its worth it, I`v had some good days on nppc land and with no bother and seen some wonderful sights when there.I think the joining fee is £130 and £100 a year there after.The guy who runs its is called John Shooter and you won`t meet a nicer fellow. He is currently building a new website so it should not be to long now before its up and running.If you join you will be happy.--Carbine Edited February 24, 2008 by CARBINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Shuter Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Hi Sparkymark, If you scroll down the topics in NPPC TALK you will find the info you want mate! I have just received an update list following the end of the game season and the nearest to you is about 25-30 mile away in South Staffs ( A5 ) Edited February 25, 2008 by P.Shuter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkymark Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi Sparkymark, If you scroll down the topics in NPPC TALK you will find the info you want mate! I have just received an update list following the end of the game season and the nearest to you is about 25-30 mile away in South Staffs ( A5 ) thats no to bad at all. I would be more than happy to drive twice that distance. Lets just hope the pigeons feed much around there. lol So you would say that the members are friendly and there could be a good chance of shooting with a few of them?

P.Shuter Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Sparkymark If you go onto the BASC website you will find an 800 acre farm in Bedfordshire growing rape and beans offering pigeon shooting to basc members for £40.00 per day. Kinda makes the NPPC annual fee look small don't it!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) nppc fee per year, £125 i would not pay that.and the rules like being in the army. Edited April 6, 2008 by mossy835 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I live near Boston in Lincolnshire and have been pondering the same question -is it worth me joining? I have no local shooting but believe that the nearest NPPC land is near Newark. That's a long way to go and recce! Any Lincs. boys got any views?
