How about a Full-bore (UK) meet at something different?

This is well run and very friendly - maybe get together and arrange a FB(UK) meet on one of their dates?
It is fairly central - but will of course be a long way/too far for some - maybe move around the UK and have meets at various places in 2012 - for some informal shooting.

Would be a fair old drive for me, but looks like the makings of a grand day out. Possible fly in the ointment is "you must have the correct wording on your certificate" - wonder if this means that my ticket wording of "approved ranges" would not cut the mustard...?

Am I correct in reading that a days shooting is GBP20 against knock down targets out to 450 yards? For a full day that is very reasonable and it is probably 90 miles from us so doable for a fun day out with some F-B'ers.
Have you shot at the place before Mike?

Yes, shot there and yes £20 per day/per person! - not sure on the wording on the FAC as I have an open for the calibres I shot there.
It is a good day out - Doz, drop them an E-mail they are really helpful

Doz, if you are going to mail them can you ask if they allow the use of tracer.... Yes I know it is for bandits however I still have a few hundred rounds of 7,62x51 tracer ball left over that I really should get shot.

Regional meets sound like a good plan
Catton Park is 5 1/2 hours away for me! NOT valid with petrol costs being what they are....

Looks like a cracking range but a little far for me. As always, I'm up for a FBUK shoot but Diggle would be best for me.
Now, as a thought for 2013 we could book a lane or two with electronic targets at Blair Atholl for some 1200yd fun!

Close enough for me to have a punt! (need to get a scoped rifle first though to make it viable)...
What would the wording on the certificate need to be? I don't have open ticket nor do I have land permission :(

I think the wording on the cert. will essentially be an open ticket; '......on any group on which you have permission to shoot.'

:-( How do I go about getting that for something like this? reckon they'd give written permission to apply for it on cert?
