ME Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi Phil I just looked at your profile. I didnt know that there was a gun club in Hanningfield. In my spare time I let down the tyres on Subarus (I read that in your profile too) Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Is the gun club in Hanningfield High House Skeet? That is the one run by the Theobalds and is behind the lazy bones boot sale site on the old A130? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatcatsplat Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Next one July 5th - http://www.rsgc.co.uk/news.html We could do a quick smash and grab there, then off to Copfurn. PhilSIDC - The website says you have about 20 members - Is it going to put anyones nose out of joint if half a dozen 'erberts turn up in XR3is wearing white socks and all called Wayne??

SXPhil Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I tried another club on Sunday Southend Gun Club Well what a welcome they gave me ......................................NOT "What did I want" To enquire about membership and facilities " you can't just turn up you know" Right so what do I have to do " You have to be assessed and see if we like you " How do I do that then? " Not today or next time, perhaps come back next month. We are looking for regular shooters not people who turn up once in a blue moon" It was at that point I realised perhaps they didn't want any new members !! Perhaps the Membership Secretary should have said on the phone and save me a wasted journey!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatcatsplat Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 There's more than a few like that in Essex - Tends to be small village clubs where outsiders are treated a bit like customers at the shop in Royston Vasey. Good 'uns that I've found in Essex are Fennes at Braintree and Copfurn at Margaretting. For a small charge of £3 for a return trip, it's worth hopping over the bridge to JJ's, Hawley and Dartford.
