Chalk Farm Clay Ground has been refused permission to use our floodlights in MARCH this year for our Tuesday evening shoots. The council decided this based on birds, insects, and bats potentially being disturbed by our floodlights in March and April. We have, therefore, decided for the 5 Tuesdays in March we will open from 10am-4pm (last entries) for a 50 bird sporting as well as skeet and DTL. We may decide to extend it into April but plan on appealing Breckland Councils decision as soon as we can. FEBRUARY hours on a Tuesday remain 2pm-9pm for compak sporting, skeet, and DTL. Details and updates on this will appear on our website and in our newsletter. Please always check dates before travelling.

Now shooting summertime hours at Chalk Farm Clay Ground. Open Tuesday afternoons from 2pm until dusk for 50 bird sporting, skeet, and down the line. Evening floodlit shoots are finished and will resume in September . Also open one day each weekend. Please See the website www.chalkfarmclayground. com for details.

Many thanks to everyone that came to our first floodlit skeet at Chalk Farm Clay Ground in Norfolk. We started at 5pm and were able to switch lights on as it became dark ar 7pm. We have 2 skeet ranges and 1 down the line floodlit presently and should add one more (to be decided) in the next month. Floodlit is Tuesday evenings only 5pm-9pm. £6 a round.

we have just added a second skeet range to our layout in Norfolk. We now want to install floodlights for winter evening shooting. We are having trouble finding a document with the correct specifications for the lighting (ie height of poles, number and type of lights ect). We have tried the usual routes like CPSA but have failed to find the document quickly and we are running out of time. Does anyone have a copy or know were we might get one. We be very grateful for anyone that could help.

Everyone shooting on competition days can enter more than once. Those practicing on Saturday should have no advantage over anyone going around twice on Sunday as they also will then know the layout. The reason behind offering the Saturday practice was hoping to spread the numbers over 2 days to reduce queing. We have been very busy on the other competition days and we thought this might benefit the shooters. Those we have mentioned a practice day to have reacted positively. The thing that bring the most complaints is long waits at the stations so we hope this will help address this

They will be similar targets but we have to move traps and tractors back to base at night.

More Details of shoot, Saturday practice 10-3pm (last entries) 50 bird sporting (adults £12, juniors accompanied by a shooting adult £8) Pool shoot £3. Van onsite with butchers burgers, bacon rolls, refreshments etc etc Sunday Competition 10-3pm (last entries) 50 bird sporting. (adults £12.50, Juniors £9) Pool shoot £3. Burger van will also be there. Trophies for winning Mens, ladies, veteran (+65) and Juniors each class has prizes for the winner, and runner up prizes for 2nd, and 3rd places. Spot prizes for straighted stands. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us.

We mightn't have gone if we hadn't won the tickets. Compared to some of the other shows its not too bad. The Norfolk show is pretty much a no go now (on the day £22 ticket ea with £6 parking!), plus it doesn't feel very country with its fashion village! Wayland is really nice £8 for a advance ticket. It'd be lovely if there was a big free event where everyone could learn about the countryside/shooting etc. I supose insuarence etc helps put an end to that though. At Wayland the kids get in the ring with a pack of foxhounds, and in the ring with a collie and ducks and they love it. Great way to get people interested in the countryside from an early age.

Ouch! A friend went a couple of years back he did reckon it was a good day out. The Norfolk Game fair isn't too bad. They have a shoot on and gun dog scurry (taking our lab this year). If bought in advance £12 each with Free parking or £30 for a family. Then take we'll take a picnic - thats where they really sting you. Sandringham also do one in September although there didn't seem as much stuff there as normal last year. I managed to win a family ticket to the Norfolk Game Fair this year which is even nicer

Are you a weekend shot, or do you like to try and get out in the weekdays or evenings? We used to enjoy going up Lakenheath on a Wednesday night for floodlit skeet during the winter (before the fire) and like to shoot Summer evenings when we get the chance too. Sunny warm evenings, light evenings, perfect! .... Assuming that Summer ever comes back!

Family name is Howling. Use to breed Golden Retrievers.

Chalk Farm Clay Ground is offering practice shooting Saturday 30th March and a fun competition shoot on Sunday 30th March. Please see the website www.chalkfarmclayground.com for details.

Lakenheath is very good, it does have delayed timers. High Lodge in Suffolk is very good too, I think they have delayed timers aswell.

Thanks for that I'll have a look into them.

We are off on holiday to Edinburgh this year, and I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good clay grounds in the area, to shoot 50 or 100 sporting? CPSA lists 4 but they aren't particulary close to Edinburgh... Thank you.

We have silver medal for you here

lol think the dancing girls would have perished in the cold on Sunday!! It was pretty bitter, maybe we'll invite them in the Summer. Think we did pretty well on the prize front 4 bottles of single malt whisky, trophies, medals, beers, and chocolate for the juniors. We had a really fun day and it was nice to meet some guys from Pigeon Watch

Its only our fun competitions that are £12.50, our normal practice days are £12, and £8 for under 16s for 50. We don't charge a membership fee, so hope that most people find us good value (regular and occassional shooters). We've only been going for 4months so are still trying to find our way with what people, would like from us. Ideas welcome :)
