Ewan Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 We checked before and it was shut on Sunday's might have changed but no sure I can't make it there on a Sunday anyway as its 2 far away Auchterhouse and Bisley is sat only for me Clunny, Dalry, neilson, falkirk, Morton, are all fine for Sunday's and can't do the 27th feb cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Falkirk is normally mega busy on a Sunday as it offers such good value shooting. Auchterhouse opens for registered comp's on a Sunday, but normally shut. They had a noise complaint made which means they have had to close a lot of stands and be conscious of when they shoot. They had to get a noise survey carried out too. Cluny has had a noise complaint made as well with someone new moving into the area, it is shameful really that it should happen.

johnnytheboy Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 The weekend of the 13-14th is the shooting show, I'm popping down to that so can't make it unfortunately. 20th is the end of the fowling season so may hit the shore. How's about an early March date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tignme Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 List of possible venues. Eaglesham. No info. Lindertis Woods./ Stuart Elder. " Auchterhouse. Braidwood. Central Scotland shooting school./ not sure if still does sporting. Cluny. Clay Target shooting school/Houston./ closes feb n march. ??? Drummond./Creif. Edith Barnes. No info. Falkirk and District sporting. North Ayrshire Shooting Ground. Cowans Law. Sporting plus maybe team flush. Shandon Country puirsuits ltd. Helensburgh. No info. Duns shootong ground. " ". Auldgirth Shooting Ground. Loads to get teeth into. Duns is the only one ive not shot so cannot comment. All the rest do good targets. Some might be SCTA registared shoots so will be more expensive due to SCTA levy. We need bodies for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tignme Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Forgot to add, suggest all guns donate a Pound on day to accumulate for a charity. And maybe some form of competition. I have 100 cartridges towards a prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm looking forward to this years shoots that's for sure! If we are going to bisley at some point it maybe worth putting a full day aside and doing a 100 bird sporting plus as there is loads to shoot at down there!

Ewan Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I am happy to go anywhere if it's further away needs to be a Saturday and closer can be saturday or Sunday just what ever but we need the numbers guys so please get involved I think for the first meet we should go to clunny as that's where the best numbers came up ?

tignme Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ok folks, I have shortlisted venues to six to accomodate March through to August. Bisley Braidwood. Falkirk and District. North Ayrshire. Central Scotland , Compact Sporting only but other disaplines. Cluny Clay Target Shooting School. Auldgirth/ Formally burntkettle. Not set in stone so speak up everybody. I can only do Sundays. Not overwhelmed by response, we need INPUT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) I am happy to go to any of the grounds, but will have to work around other work commitments and any registered shoots as plan to compete a lot more this year. From a selfish perspective shooting in cold damp conditions murders me (arthritis) hence the reason I have not commented about doing something in February. I do appreciate that you guys put in the effort to get people along and last year it was an uphill struggle for you, so instead of trying to do something every month should we look at maybe 3 or 4 days through the warmer months? Maybe a kick off session in April and then June, August and then later in September before the pheasant season starts. If we wanted something late in the year then maybe arrange for a PW live game day? 4 different grounds north (Auchterhouse), east (Cluny), south (Braidwood/Auldgirth) and west (North Ayrshire) or similar? Shares the travel around a wee bit. Thinking if fewer days them maybe more will be inclined to get involved and we could make it more of an event with breakfast before & lunch after, charity contribution at the end of the 'season', prizes, etc. If we could get enough people interested then could maybe even look at a simulated game day with barbecue, etc. Maybe something to think about in the middle of the year when it is light until 10pm so could do something central located and after work for most people? Some thoughts from me and hope some of the other Scottish contingent chip in as well. Ewan/Tignme thanks for making the effort to get it all going Edited January 30, 2016 by grrclark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 How's about we set a date and post up another thread called "Scottish Members Funday 5" then get in touch with everyone we can to boost numbers and create an awareness! I'm up for March, and Cluny would be a good idea! We can hit the cafe for lunch and chat face to face about the plans for 2016! I'd be up for a game day, also a sim day if it comes to it!

johnnytheboy Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 How's about! Sunday 28th February? Cluny Clays! Anyone coming from the west, head to Falkirk and jump in with me to save fuel to/from Kirkcaldy. We can shoot first thing then have a coffee/lunch. When we are at lunch we can have a chat about the way forward, GRClark, if its weather that's no good for your arthritis pop over for a coffee and a chat about how we progress this. Even at least if this is just a Funday/catch up day it will get the ball rolling! Should we start a separate topic and get head count?
