City of Newcastle Rifle Club TR Section 2024 Season
Range Closure Notice: Ponteland B range remains closed for the forseeable furture. Bookings have been made on Ponteland A range which is 300y only, and also with Darlington Rifle & Pistol Club for longer distances at Wathgill range 6A & Peatfell, part of the Catterick range complex.
Range allocation is becoming challenging with the prospect of losing bookings to higher priority MOD users becoming more frequent. As and when this happens, details will be posted on the website and members will be emailed.
Current dates are shown in the section below.
