Thanks what is the story about joining fees and whatever and also what does the gun club do? Thanks!

joining fees depend on where you live, if you live outside the club area it is dearer than for local members.
there is also a junior membership fee, you would have to contact a member of the committee for the
fees as i dont have them to hand. they rear and release pheasant and duck, during hard weather the put
out feeders all over the club grounds. a few of them are very active vermin controllers. the club also has its own clay grounds.

Thanks I live just between calverstown and narramore there is a sign on the neighbours farm saying ballitore gunclub has it was part of the reason that got me interested! Also I like to do a good bit of shooting and hoped I could talk to others about it and go out shooting with them!

Also where abouts is it in ballitore and can I go to the gunclub in person as I don't like talking over the phone!

pm me your number and i will see what i can do. as i am not giving out names or numbers on this site.
i will give you a ring tomorrow.

if you ask around locally someone may be able to give you some names as i know at least one member
lives on the road between naraghmore and calverstown. dont think there is anyone that you can just
walk in and talk to. most people submit an application to any member which is then brought up at a
committee meeting as it is a committee decision ta accept new members

What's worked for me in the past is to go to the local Garda Barracks and they might know somebody or a local firearms dealer.

You have a better chance of seeing a unicorn than a Garda in ballitore station

ballitore station closed a couple of years ago.

And you have an even worse chance of seeing me outside the Garda station in Ballytore looking for a member of the gun club.
