Rugeley
Rifle Club origins began when it was a shooting section of Rugeley
Rangers which was formed in 1879, when it was a militia as a defence
of the realm volunteer regiment. The regiment was located on
Cannock Chase during the intervening period they shot at various
locations within the Cannock Chase area. The
current building and range complex was purpose built at Rugeley and opened in 1971 and
since has gone
through various stages of improvement.
