As per usual a great selection of things to do in the NW, well done to all involved.

As a branch we are working on adding some Best Practice events and also an event to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Society.

Suffice to say if any members/potential members in the North West of England who have any ideas for training/events please drop me a PM.

Good evening Nick, are the other range days available to non-BDS members like last year's October Eskdalemuir day was?

Cheers, Mick

Hi Mick

Yes, to satisfy NRA Rifle Club rules you need to be a BDS or BASC member.

Thanks
