Foxxy Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Has anyone heard they are in financial difficulties and shedding staff? It is only recently their new clubhouse was built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenholland Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 don't worry, unless you are one of them, there are other clubs to shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxy Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I have heard they have been selling/using smelly, dirty, rubbish 12 gauge 8s 21 gram cartridges made by Gamebore with Honesberie name on them. it seems a lot of regulars do not go there now.

ColinF Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Smelly cartridges? If you don't like the ground, or the cartridges they sell, shoot somewhere else. Unless you are just trying to tarnish their reputation?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Hollick Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hi Foxxy, Just for the record no we are not in financial difficulty. Yes we have had a shuffle with two people in our team: one of them is our apprentice who is my best mates son who has decided to go travelling abroad. The other member of my team who ran the accounts has left due to an office job not being for her and for your information we have a new member of staff in her position who has started this week. For your interest, we have transformed from operating out of a Iforwilliams cattle trailer when we started with just me and a diary. We now have a team of 5 full time staff along with a number of freelance staff and are looking to have some one part time on the ground so very different to your lovely comments. It is a great shame that you are not behind the fact that we are investing both time and money into developing a facility that most people are able to enjoy. Feel ring to ring me direct to voice any further comments, we are always open minded to such constructive opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Hollick Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Foxxy, The smelly dirty rubbish cartridges you refer to are yes Game bore loads that we are proud to be ambassadors of. The cartridges are used at all of the top shooting schools in the country and if they were dirty and smelly then I believe Games bore would be in financial difficulties by now given the number they sell each year. Again, please feel free to pick up the phone instead of hiding behind a screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxy Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 To Nick Hollick. Last Friday my cousin had a pint with Henry in Southam, he has no intention of 'travelling abroad'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon69 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Dont know either of you or the ground in question, BUT i do know that your other post Foxxy is promoting another ground Newbold - Staverton - Clay Shoot :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Bu Le Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Perhaps the mods should have a look at the OP's posts, sounds like more than a bit of negativity especially considering his posts in Events & Meets promoting another club. For the record I do not shoot clays or attend any clay club anywhere. Neither am I acquainted with any of the parties involved with the posts sent to date. However I do feel that the criticisms levelled may have a touch of self interest and the interests of others. Got to be against a rule somewhere on PW. If I am wrong then I unreservedly apologise.

Pothunter Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've shot there once, quite recently. Too posh for my taste, but an extremely professional, impressive operation and facilities, it seemed to me. Looked anything but down on their luck.

Clc0608 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I haven't been to their ground specifically but I did see them at Silverstone F1 last year and from the service I received I find some of the comments hard to believe. Really hope they're going to be there this year. Edited March 2, 2015 by Clc0608 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sian Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I look forward to the return of Nick's registered shoots - always a challenge for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
