Another vote for Orston, excellent ground and nearly every discipline that you could want to shoot, well worth a try.

Glen Bank is a really good, friendly club and you won't get much cheaper shooting. However due to shooting restrictions during the game season their next shoot is not until 15 th Feb 2015.

As mentioned your best bet in the meantime is Orston.

Error, Glen Banks next shoot is 1st Feb 2015 and then the 15th.

You could also try Haven Bank near Coningsby.

Orston, Haven Bank both have websites.

Haven Bank isn't bad (I have visited whilst at my Mums near Horncastle) - DTL layout and a 40 bird sporting... http://www.havencpc.webs.com/

There is also a new one open near Bardney Aerodrome... I haven't been yet, planning a sunday jaunt when I am up at Mums on the 18th... no website but they are talking about it on the Lincolnshire CPSA page on FB : https://www.facebook.com/groups/289053805882/?fref=ts - might be worth adding/following that page as well....

I work local to this ground at bardney, not sure how well it will take off. Very flat around there so not much elevation to set traps up on higher ground. Bardney is also in a very very remote area and is a swine to drive too, it is right in the middle of know where. They will have to do some very good or very cheap targets as there are better grounds surrounding the area already such as: Grimsthorpe, Fenwicks of Claxby, Pinewoods, Orston, Nottingham, Cocket farm, the list goes on. I just can't see this taking off to be honest, but you never know, the chap setting it up seems to have pedigree being ex stile hollow which was a good ground. Will have to see how it goes, we will probably pop down sometime for a look, but we have other grounds we would support first.

Many thanks for your replies folks.

I used to work on a syndicate shoot based around the old Bardney Abbey and Stainfield so I am reasonably familiar with the area.

Oh for the days of the sweet smell of the sugar beet factory.
