HOT PRESS! The Village Hall at Down Ampney, Cirencester, Glos UK was completely burnt during the night of 9/10 August 2007. This hall is normally the venue for our Rifle Club Presentation evenings. Please stay tuned to this page for notification of a new venue for this event.

The League was founded in Cirencester in 1932 and apart from the period of the 1939-45 World War has been shooting in the district ever since - ten years in the Activities Room at the previous Sports Centre and the last 20 years our shooting has been successfully held at the Corn Hall, Cirencester.

We were very concerned when our landlord, the Cotswold District Council were in discussion with Wildmoor regarding the sell-off. However, in the past one and a half years we assumed, and were not told otherwise, that on the completion of the Hall refurbishment, our shooting activity would continue there.

Unfortunately, at a recent meeting with Wildmoor we were informed that our continued use of the Corn Hall would not be allowed and after the one and a half years delay I have also been informed by Cotswold District Council that there is no legal requirement by Wildmoor to allow us the future use of the Corn Hall.
