On Wednesday 23 January fifteen competitors shot a competition with a Celtic flavour, followed by Haggis, neaps and tatties, accompanied by a wee dram, courtesy of the London and Middlesex Clubhouse. More themed evenings are planned.

Though not intended as a weekly event, we hope to run some competition shoots with stages 'outside the box' ie not PP1 or 1500 etc. Two bays gives us the flexibility to allow room for practice shooting and the two hours or so planned for these evenings gives the 'working class' a chance for a bit of relaxation on the way home.

Cheylesmore after dark.

John Gardener in action!

The next Twilight Club night will be held on Wednesday 6 February from 17.00 to 19.00. Two hours shooting for a mere ten quid. Tea and coffee will be available at only 10p per cup. There will be one bay for practice and one for a mini competition. If you want to shoot the 'mini competition' you will need forty rounds and your thinking cap.

Contact John Gardener or call 01483 797777 ext 152 to book or for more information.

Watch the NSC notice boards and NRA website for further dates and details.

Shooting from 17:30 to 19:30, this inaugural shoot will offer light refreshments with a seasonal flavour.

Restricted to gallery calibres, we will be offering both practice shooting and a mini competition based on the old Service Pistol competition known as the Whitehead. Succeeding weeks will feature 'something different'. Be prepared for some serious fun.

A small fee will be charged to cover the prizes.

To book one of the limited places, please contact John Gardener in the Range Office.

Matt has joined us to consolidate our Range Office and Armoury functions, and to introduce a new, computerised system to the Armoury. His knowledge of Bisley as a TR shooter, and his working background in project management, system development and change management, will help us deliver a more efficient, customer-centric and robust service proposition into the future.

I'm sure he will be in touch with members in due course, but on behalf of everyone at the NSC, I'd like to welcome Matt to the organisation.

In the meantime if you wish to get in touch with Matt please contact him by e-mail by clicking here
