Bisley advice

[deadcenter]

Off to Bisley for the first time this week and have a couple of questions. Would be grateful for any advice.

I'm staying overnight in the pavilion and was wondering about the best place to store my rifles and ammo.

The other thing was feeding myself. Breakfast, mid day and in the evening.

Would love to hear any recommendations from the experienced among the members.

Thanks guys.

Not sure about breakfast, but midday I prefer the Lord Roberts over the clays cafe or Fat Tony’s. For evenings my first choice is the Artists, followed by the London &Middlesex, North London and the Surrey.

Or take a plate and eating Irons and order a Chinese, The new garden is the closest, it’s also very good. Just outside camp you have a chippy, Pizza, and Indian. There’s quite a well stocked shop a minute out of camp up towards the military base.

Thanks for that. Wasn't sure about coming and going from camp after closing hours either.

Not a problem leaving camp, occasionally you might get asked by the security guard.

Elwood forgot to mention the Charcoal Grill kebab shop in Knaphill just up the road you will not get a better kebab anywhere.

Sounds just the job, thanks.

about 5 minutes away is the Christmas Bakery fresh rolls pies pasties  etc

Thanks for the advice, well recieved.

Is it ok for two to share a firing point at 1000? Record your score etc while the other shoots and so on.

Sorry if this is an obvious question.

[Re-Pete]

Yes.......assuming you're both full NRA members with current membership and shooters cards.

Shooting in a group from my club with NRA affiliation,  up to date shooters cards.

You mentioned rifle and amo storage book in with the range office 

it was straight forward now I think they need a minimum notice and online 

I used Fulton’s last time very straight forward 

[deadcenter]

I think Fultons will be the choice,  thanks.

Firearms security is the same as if you were in a hotel of guest house -you must take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorised access to your firearms.

As to where to eat?

The surrounding area has many great restaurants, from Woking to North Camp and of every cuisine type you could want.

On camp the North London is doing great food at reasonable prices and cocktails too.🤪 A nice spot to sit out and have an after shoot drink.
The guy that runs the bar/restaurant is doing a great job at making it a more welcoming place to go and is worth a visit if only to support him and his efforts.

Don't the rooms in the Pavilion have gun cabinets in the wardrobes?

That’s the St George’s Lodge

[deadcenter]

Not in the pavillion sadly. 

Fultons were great to be honest, all very quick and easy.

Back home now, couldn't have asked for better weather for a first time visit. 

Thanks for the advice, all very useful and appreciated. Will definitely be going back.

Home from home

What's wrong with my recommendation? 😜

Visited and had a meal (both lunchtime and evening) on at least 6 occasions since the start of this year's Imperial, always had a good meal and felt very welcome.

Excellent thanks,it difficult sometimes to get others to try somewhere different for a change.
