I also think the cpsa ought to have another look at the age categories. I am well into super vet territory but cpsa only recognise that in a limited amount of events. You only have to look at the general age of shooters and there are many around still shooting in their 70's and beyond.

Think you may be getting confused with Beverley (east yorks shooting ground) which is predominantly trap but also does other. Been to Humberside once it's about 10 mile east of the Beverley ground in Brandsburton . Like initial post says, some good stands and plenty of them.

A lighter wallet

Fair point, but why would cheddite worry about the component part of the business. They would take over their business market out right and be better off supplying the customers direct. Win/win for cheddite

Again I understand all that but I still don't accept this justifies such a huge price difference. In the UK cartridge prices Have been ramped up several times over the past 6 months. Yet Fiocchi UK have remained stable, albeit people have mentioned that on Jan 17th their price is to increase. Again I accept Fiocchi will not be immune to inflationary pressures. However I wonder have they recognised how the competion have greatly increased their pricing and thought ' we can have a bit of that' . This would give them a significant margin boost and yet they can easily keep their price just below the competition and retain and possibly increase market share. If true then it's the only sensible business decision they could take. But as far as us shooters are concerned , unless someone is prepared to step in and break this cycle then we will suffer.

Yes I am actually there. But I don't live there and I am a UK citizen. Yes I am moaning about something .The Spanish shooting industry seems to me that it looks after its shooters better than our UK counterparts. So what is wrong with questioning why UK shooters should not have the same benefits.

I must apologise, I did not read your post correctly in respect of your quotation. Anyhow thanks for the remark on that point. When I saw the particular post myself I thought it was so irrelevant that I just ignored it.

Eh ! Where did I mention that I live in Spain and where did I suggest moving there just to buy cartridges. I was only trying to point out the vast difference in price. In my opinion the price differential is too great to put it down to all the excuses being offered.

The smart money is on three. Riki,Truss,and Hunt. No way would I want Truss to take over

Cartridge prices are being pushed up to eye watering levels and there seems to be no end to this. I think some suppliers and dealers are just inflating prices to see how far they can go. I have posted something similar on another forum. I have just checked prices at my local decathlon store in Spain this morning. Divide the price shown by 1.2 to give £ price. Also bear in mind ,these are small amounts and this is a general sports store, I am sure serious shooters in Spain will have even cheaper options.

That's why they are just waiting and manoeuvring. The activity behind the scenes will be frantic in their plans to have contenders in place.

The Sue Gray report ,whatever the findings ,could well not be sufficient to move him. He may have spent his nine lives , but then again he may have a few more . However if the opinion polls remain terrible for long enough and don't drastically improve, he will definitely not survive. I am sure the Tories all know and accept he is finished. It's now just a game they are playing till they see the perfect time to pull the trigger.

Quite a few changed sides before Boris won the election. Both labour and Tory jumped ship to start that new ,now forgotten party. Carswell joined UKIP and some went liberal. As far as I am aware everyone of them are no longer around.

Agree got a taste of the MP life style and now thinks best way to hang on to it is to join labour. Shallow individual in my opinion

See the first rat has jumped from the sinking ship. Christian Wakeford MP for Bury South , jumps over to labour.

I don't think India has an accurate figure on the birth rate, never mind deaths

Totally agree with that and in an ideal world I am sure that would be the preferred option of the Tories. However I get the feeling that the pressure and bad feeling will build to such high levels , he will have to be despatched

To me that's very similar to football. When you hear a failing manager has the backing of the board, he is always sacked within a few weeks. I also think there are more than enough MP's to trigger a leadership contest with the 1922. Once that's triggered he is a goner ,because all those still backing him will rally around their preferred candidates. One final point, if the above is slow to happen. It would not surprise me if Cummings is still had some ammo left to deliver the final coup de gras

Never!! And neither would I work for anyone who requested you to do that. I always expected my employer to supply the booze FOC 👍😂

From reading between the lines, it obvious there are several leadership wannabes ready to go. However the reason they may hold back is that it's a really bad time to take over. They will want to hit the ground running and get a good start. However there are serious problems in the short term and they will want to get past those before they take over. However I really cant see Boris staying , if he hangs on he will have no credibility or authority.

Too true 😂😂 , the way I shoot I prefer to keep a low profile

0nce a party animal always a party animal. He just cant resist having a good time it seems

If Labour are intent of gaining power I think that going after Boris will not help them that much. They will never get a sufficient majority without regaining all those Scots seat they have lost to SNP. Starmer must see this as his real battle ground because without winning that fight, he will never win the war.

If she wins, I will guess her press releases will be words to the effect " This was never about the multi million dollar settlement I have just won, I only wanted justice" As far as Andrew is concerned, whether he stops this case or not. The damage has been done and his reputation trashed but He can blame no one other than himself"

Were there many shooters there. I went between Christmas and new year and the place was rammed, I had to search hard to find an empty stand and there were many with large groups using them. So in spite of the draw backs the place remains popular.
