Ground closed

[Jan Powell]

As there’s nothing on their website and to save shooters a wasted journey, Beverley CTC has closed. There will be no further practice or competitions for the foreseeable future.

It’s hoped once the politics behind the closure are resolved it’ll be up and running once again but, for the  time being, none of the advertised fixtures will be taking place.

Wow.

Politics at Beverley..... Never

Wonder what it is this time ?

 

[Garwood]

Unrenewed lease apparently.....

 

[Rupert]

Hope a sporting man steps forward to take it on, plenty of rumors in the region

Shame, it is a nice ground where I had shot quite a bit in the past. I hope it is sorted for the good of the sport.

In my experience of lease renewals,leaser sees you making money and decides you aren't giving him enough of it,leaser asks for more money,leasee says they have no more to give,leaser looks for another leasee for ages as the cost is now too much,leaser sits on it for a while and then ends up leasing it to someone else for about the original amount but the business hass lost momentum and no longer is viable.....everybody loses.

looks like a nice place lets hope that doesn't happen in this case.

It is a nice place, and much needed in the north, when you look at numbers for reg shoots i doubt its over money

Good news, the ground has now reopened under new management with the same disciplines as previously.

Great..  Any details such as website. Fixtures etc?

I've heard they're open for practice rounds only at the moment until Christmas to allow repairs/ refurbishment to take place, then open for competitions in the new year year.
