​

The first session is free, a contribution to the ammunition used is appreciated (a packet of biscuits will do).

​

If, as expected, you like it, you will be given a form to apply for SSbC Probation Membership. When completed with a passport-sized photo and the joining fee of £26, access to the WhatsApp Probation Group is granted so that you can go forward to Book time for your continuing sessions of training as a Probationary Member to SSbC.

The form will ask you to declare that you have not been refused a Firearms Licence or Shotgun certificate and that you are not prohibited from possessing a firearm under section 21 of the Firearms Act - A separate request to the Police will be made so that checks are carried out identifying that you are making an application to join a Home Office Range. THAT'S THE START OF THE PAPERWORK

A 'Green fee' per shooting/week is charged at £5:00, as well as you pay for Ammunition used, within that paid shooting/week; therefore, you can shoot as many times in the week, provided that a trainer is available - NORMALLY THIS IS A WEDNESDAY.

During the Probation period, YOU ARE TRAINED and when the trainers is satisfied that you understand the ways of SSbC an assessment is taken as to your suitability to be a Full Member. Refusal to continue access is our right; therefore, cancelling your application to join. SORRY.

If successful, your application will then go before "The Honorary Committee" for approval. If not approved by the Trainer a further time period may be given in exceptional circumstances or the joining fee is returned to you. For LIVE: **We will assist with the application of a Firearms Certificate, as this is ideally required outside of the 'Probation Period' for LIVE.** 

FULL members are encouraged to become a Safety Range Officer (SRO) to take their part in the SSbC continuous SAFETY programme
