The Roding is
an old, established, rapidly-growing club with, currently, 165 members.
It was formed
in the early 1970s when it ran under the stewardship of Janet and Terry
Rayment. Janet Rayment was formerly a member of the England pistol team.
The range, along with the adjacent hall, was built in the early 1930s by
a local businessman and philanthropist who was also the Colonel in Chief
of the local T.A.
Three years ago the club and range underwent massive refurbishment which
was completed in January 2008. The clubhouse is now furnished in the
style of a 19th century gentleman’s club – though we do have
a number of female members and ladies are
always welcome. The clubhouse
is a very relaxed place where members can sit and enjoy a chat.
Refreshments are always available.
The range has five shooting
points with returning target holders. The shooting disciplines we offer
are: 10m and 20m air weapons, 20m .22 gallery rifle, 25 yard prone .22
rifle. We also have facilities to shoot up to .38 calibre, both rifle
and long barrelled revolver. There is a strong interest in black powder
firearms and we have an advancing, turning target available.
