WELCOME TO LYDD RIFLE CLUB
Lydd Rifle Club is formed from a relatively small group of individuals from all walks of life and a broad spectrum of ages who share a common interest in the sport of shooting.
Although primarily a full bore rifle club our members enjoy shooting a wide range of weapons including .22rimfire, Gallery rifle (under lever carbines), black powder pistol/rifle, and full bore rifle both sporting and target. We also have a healthy contingent of members dedicated to old military weapons from both World Wars.
We shoot twice a month on Military Ranges at Hythe and Lydd with ranges varying from 25m to 1100m. On occasions we arrange for a day at Bisley for any members who fancy a change of venue and between our shoots get together for a day at a local clay shoot for anyone who is interested.
Whilst we take the sport seriously we also try to ensure that everybody has a good enjoyable day.
Our aim is to promote to sport of shooting in all its various forms and encourage the safe handling and ownership of firearms by responsible citizens.
I'm sure that everyone will join me in sending our condolences to the family and friends of those affected by the tragic shootings in Cumbria today.
GATE LIST
Landmarc have reinstated the gate lists for access to the camps as a result they now want our FAC numbers. We've not previously held this information so can you please send it to Mike White at secretary@lyddrifleclub.com as soon as possible otherwise you'll have problems getting access.
LORD LIEUTENANTS FALLING PLATE COMPETITION
Congratulations to everyone that took part. LRC placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th. The winning team was Bob Burford, Gary Brown, Steve Jones and Keith Jeffries.
SUMMER BBQ
The Summer BBQ went very well as I'm those that attended will agree. These events are organised by the club at the request of the membership so it would be nice if they were better supported.
LAND WANTED
Does anyone know of any land that's available or may be available for us to establish our own range. We would be looking for around 4 - 5 acres and would be happy to buy, rent or lease which ever suited the landowner.
If anyone does know of anything or knows of a bit of land that might suit please let me know or put the landowner in touch with me.

REMOVAL OF
AMMUNITION
Please be aware that it is an offence to remove any live rounds from the
ranges that you do not have entered on your firearms certificate.
Obviously any non certificate holders may not remove any live rounds
whatsoever. Anyone caught doing so will have their membership of the
club revoked immediately and the Police will be informed.
NEW MEMBERSHIP CLASSES
The club has decided to introduce two new categories of membership - Junior and Partner.
Junior membership will cover anyone aged between 14 - 18 and will
cost £20 pa.
Partner membership will cover anyone's partner and will be charged
£ 42.50 pa for your partner.
Anyone interested in these new packages please contact the Secretary
PICKING UP USED BRASS
It has been pointed out by the range officers that not everyone picks up their used brass after shooting. Could you please ensure that the firing point is clear before leaving even if you are not re using the cases.
Thank you.
