fenman99 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hi Hatsanman, excellent charity, I'm one of the lucky ones who got it early. Prostate Cancer UK helped me through the darkest days of my life & now 18 months later 99% back to normal. I will be there to shoot & support PCa as this is an evil disease which is the BIGGEST KILLER OF MEN. Is there a veterans class?? fenman99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Bottoms Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 fenman99, that's good to hear, with regards to shooting the competition please PM me so I can get some details so you can register and in relation to a veterans class, that depends on how many entry's there are! As always we need to spread the word so if you would like to register or get some more information on the shoot please feel free to PM me on here or contact us on the details in the original post. Many thanks, HM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbob Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) dbob, yes the payment and entry details have been received for both of you. Good stuff. Has the event had a good response? Edited August 19, 2014 by dbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknsd1978 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 what an absolute fantastic idea. A little far for me but maybe we should get some other places doing this. I know I'm a complete novice to this sport but maybe my local club I'm at might be interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Bottoms Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hello all, unfortunately I have not had any where near the response I would have hoped for this event. Due to this, I have regrettably decided to cancel and reschedule for early next year (March or April). I have refunded all monies already paid for the shoot via PayPal. I had less than 10 entries which fails to make the event cost effective. I will try again and hope to raise enough interest to make this an interesting shoot and a worthy fund raiser for PCUK.

dbob Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 That's a real shame, surprised at the low turn-out. Apart from this forum how well publicised was the event? Anyway thanks for the refund, I'll still donate to the charity and let's hope for a better response next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Bottoms Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I used PW, Facebook and sent posters out to the major clubs and grounds that would put one up, I hope to see if I can advertise it better when it comes round again!
