A Little bit about our club

 

We are a small club, like many in this country, formed in the mid 1940s from a WW2 Home Guard unit. We still have our original certificate of affiliation to the NSRA.

We cannot claim an illustrious history with great shooting achievement in national competitions and a well-filled trophy cabinet. We can however claim a consistent history of supporting shooting in Essex, taking part in a number of local competitions with a modest degree of success.

Records show that our membership has never been greater than 15 and has normally been about 12 or 13. A small number of members also belong to other clubs and organisations where other courses of fire and other calibre shooting are available.

In summary, we are a small, very friendly, small bore rifle club that is committed to maintaining the availability of shooting as a sport in this country. We take our shooting seriously (but not too earnestly, after all it is a hobby to enjoy.)
