History of Leominster Rifle & Pistol Club In common
with many other clubs, Leominster Rifle and Pistol Club began life in WW II
with the home guard; also during that early post war time many businesses had
their own clubs (Banks, stores, etc). In 1956 the Club was Leominster Midland
Electricity Board Rifle club. At about this time, courtesy Dr Beeching, the
outdoor range was built. The present 20 yards indoor range was built by the
members in 1974, being known as the Pinsley range. Prior to this time the
club used the TA range in Leominster, and at sometime during the transition
actually shot in an open roofless shed in the Town. In 2001 the range was
refurbished having gained funding from "Awards for All" scheme,
this being part of "Sport England."
