Full bore at Diggle is weekends only. I'm not sure what they offer for small bore shooters. I've shot there and they are very friendly bunch. Brockholes in Huddersfield is closer and they have electronic targets out to 500 yards i think. Saturday mornings for them.

That looks like an absolutely fantastic range! I'll definitely have to get up there for a visit as soon as I can. Are there any particular days for visitors or anything like that? Can I ask what the membership fees are like and if theres a probationary membership period for FAC holders?

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions so far, I've even had a few PM's inviting me out to visit clubs. What I'll most likely go is try to visit a few different places and which ones suit me best. I'm thinking I might even join somewhere local for a quick bit of shooting after work and also somewhere bigger like Diggle to head out to once or twice a month.
Mark - please PM me on vinceb@targetshooteronline.com and I'll explain all about Diggle, fees etc.
