Thanks to Waveney Shooting Club and all the volunteers who gave up their time to help out with our days shooting. We all had a fantastic time and hugely enjoyed our time with both the air rifles and firearms. Hopefully, we’ll be able to organise another event in the future.

Thank You

Brooke and Poringland Scouts

Emily’s stunning and tasty cakes. Vanilla and chocolate. Kindly brought to the club for very grateful members. She’s got talent.

We’re using the prone bench.

And the scaffolding has gone.

The roof repairs have been completed but only the damaged areas have been replaced. This should be maintenance free for many years to come. Hopefully, when we get the finances we can replace the rest of the roof.

And the scaffolding is up for the roof repairs.

Just a few of the comments since we reopened.

Before the work started.




Katy and her friend will be jumping from a perfectly good ( I hope ) plane at 13000ft and hurtling towards the ground at approximately 120mph (anyone who’s seen Katy in her little car will know she should be used to those speeds ?). They’re doing this on May 15th 2021, around 12.30 pm, weather permitting . If we put a large target on the car park I wonder if they could land at the club     ( anyone seen her shooting knows she can’t hit targets?).
 They are funding the cost of the jump by themselves ( poor students ?) and will not be taking it from any money raised. Their target sum is £1500. Really appreciate if people could and would share as much as possible . As it’s a year away there will be advertising closer to the date . It’s a Saturday , so if anyone would like to come and support the girls ( I think I’ll be needing way more support than either of them, worried mother ?) that would be great. Thanks all .

So, what have we been getting up to during lockdown?

A member’s other half made a drink for them as they were painting ……. the brush went in the drink rather than the paint apparently ?. So pleased I’m not the only Ditsy one.

A member’s wife learnt hairdressing skills during lockdown……… barber of Seville lol Look out for members with missing ears . Lol




Maybe the ‘Merry’ should relate to this …… whole bottle lasted about 2 hours . Yummy lol

First Aid at Work Course July 2019

A Level 3 First Aid at Work (RQF) Course was held at the club premises between 9th July and 11th July 2019. Seven club members attended and with the expert guidance and training provided by International Safety Training and Qualifications (many thanks to Lee, Pash and Vinnie) all members passed and are now qualified First Aiders for the next three years.

The club now has a defibrillator which has been kindly donated by Phil Farnell (many thanks Phil). All the club members taking part in the course have been trained in it’s use.

Below are some photos (taken by Lee) of members during their training.
