  1. Bakerboy, you beat me to it! I was also going to campaign on behalf of Oddjob!
  2. Grant, I cant seem to find a number for either of those shoots. I am in Barnsley and I am currently treking to Manchester or Kelbrook
  3. If you dont have a license they can provide you with one for a lesson, however they can not leave you to use it unsupervised. Once you have your license and everything sorted the ground is open for practice most days
  4. Hi guys, I came across this http://www.clayshootingsuccess.co.uk/benhusthwaiteeliteclayshootingacademy.html the other day while I was looking at Phils website and I was thinking about the doing the day in Manchester. Has anyone done one of these or is anyone going? Ta
  5. I would recommend Folly Farm on the A339. Both Sarah and Paul (Alfie)are great coaches and will be more than happy to help. the ground is small and informal. I have Sarah's number if you would like to get in touch with them?
  6. Thank you for the kind offer, but I think I shall pass on this occasion.
  7. I currently shot a relic of a fabarm that is due to celebrate its 40th birthday next year and it has been suggested that snap caps might be a good idea to help preserve the springs. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Is this a good idea.
  8. Damn it, I am going to want to try this after every shot today
  9. the secretary one should get through to her. I only have her other address but when i spoke to her this afternoon, she didnt mention that they are over subscribed
  10. How is it ironic. Everyone is free to express their views and these are mine. I would never knock someone for theres.
  11. I sit on the fence politically, but I do think that this government is faced with the hard task of clawing back some of the money that Labour ****** up the wall and used to create jobs for the boys with. It is a well stated fact in my town that the the local government created so many jobs because they know their works with never vote Tory. As a country we have been paying money hand over fist to bail out other countries and in the long run it is us that is losing out. We as the British Citizens are left paying more for the good that we want and need and then there are the few workers who decide that even though they are lucky to be in a safe industry (which regardless how much they are paid I think we all agree, tanker driver driver are safe) are now going to strike over their pay and conditions which from the research I have done seems like they are on a pretty good package. We all have our crosses to bare when it come to work, I had to move from the town I grew up in to a town that is socially the opposite to be able to pursue my choosen career path, it meant upping sticks and taking a lower paid job, but you know what I just deal. I have taken on extra work so that I can afford the things I want and I probably work more hours a week than these drivers and my public sector counterparts. Strike and union action is pure gread, it is the under educated (im sorry if thats snobby) relying on the bully tactics of an organisation that is out to make money, all because they can not negiotiate their own pay and working contract. I shall get down off my soap box now
  12. why dont you try emailing Sarah at British Shooting, she is the best point of contact for the test event tickets!
  13. it is coming right past my office and there is a crew break scheduled for outside aswell!
  14. Send me your address again N as I have 3 copies for you and the pupils
  15. All of the team over at Manchester have been fantastic, I joined over there last year because even though it isnt the closest ground to me, the team have been so friendly and welcoming! Including the blonde lady at reception!
  16. I use John Robinson. He is brillant. He has a fantastic reptation and i beleive have represented GB on a few occassion. I have his details if you would like them.
  17. I want to get 2 CCTV cameras installed but have a smallish budget. They need to be ones that can pick up on movement in the dark and they need to weather proof as they would be outside. I am reasonably DIY savvy so I reckon I could probably do a certain amount of the work myself. Can anyone suggest where to look and what to look out for??
  18. if some kind soul would like to scan it in that would be lovely as I havent received my copy yet!! :(
  19. that was my concern!!! All he has to do is purchase the lastest issue of Clay Shooting and my ugly mug is in there!
  20. Kelly come to Kibworth with me and B!!! You know you want to!!
  21. I am a horsey bird and although it has been years since I have been to a riding school for lessons, I was shocked recently when I had the 2 daughters of a family friend come to help with my horses on a weekend and I realised that although they could sit to a walk trot and canter, they actually had no idea how to control the horse. So make aure that you check the following: that the instructors are all BHS AI or above qualified that the school is a BHS Approved riding school (check the date on their certificate) check that their insurance certificate (this should be displayed somewhere) ask them what their ehos to teaching is. if the kids are going to follow each other round and they arent going to learn to ride independantly then in my experience this causes more accidents. Look at the condition of the horses, are they covered in mud, do that have a glazed look, do they look lame etc ask if you can watch a lesson to see what they are like. and lastly if there is anything that you are unhappy with then walk away!
  22. The magazine have been given details to pass on in anyone is interested in contacting Neals team to offer more support.
  23. Nicky I can understand where you are coming from with that but it is difficult to get the media biting without a name that they know involved but there will be follow up articles so I am sure your comment will be logged and taken on board
  24. I can try and get it scanned in for you but its a bit tricky as its over 2 pages. Nicky T - it looks like 2012 is going to be a bumper year! I reckon the classic will be a good shoot this year
