Story
Looe rifle and pistol club.
Members of Looe rifle and pistol club have been devastated this week by the news that the clubhouse has suffered an arson attack. The clubhouse will now need to be completely rebuilt. Due to it's 1930's construction being mainly of wood it was impossible to get insurance of more than just the bare minimum, although any insurance money will be gratefully received it will be far from the amount needed for the rebuild.
In 2015 the club celebrated it's centenary, it has over 40 members, male, female, able bodied and disabled with an age range from teenagers to octogenarians all of whom are very keen to get it back up and running. Three members have just been asked to trial for the county team and were very much looking forward to the challenge.
A few people have suggested that setting up this page would be a good idea so I'm giving it a go. The club will be very grateful for any donations made so thank you very much if you are making one.

6 years agoAfter several costly setbacks we now have the builder on site, hopefully all will go well from now on and things will progress quickly. We have several very excited members who can't wait to get back to the club. Every penny donated to help us is very much appreciated, every penny raised is money we don't need to borrow. The new building will bring a lot of pleasure to many people both in the near future and for many years to come.

7 years agoWork has now started to clear the site ready for the new building. Fundraising is still very much ongoing as we still need to raise more money. For the members the new building can't come soon enough, most having not fired a gun since the arson attack back in August. Hopefully if funds allow we will be back up and running sometime in the Summer. Thank you all for your support it means so much to us.
