Mr Potter Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I know what the magnificent North needs to balance up the numbers a bit, not that I'm overly concerned, 15 good Northerners can easily see off 36 simpering Southerners without too much trouble. However I'd be even more confident if we had a leader, not a Captain Mainwaring type leader all pomp & bluster but a proper Northern leader, quiet, confident, lets his gun do the talking but capable of rallying the troops when the odds seem overwhelming :unsure: Please step forward EL MAGNIFICO we need you, we don't actually need you to bring the trophy back as there is only one way that's heading (I'll give you a clue it's not West, East or South) It would just be fitting that the North had a figurehead of your stature, so come on Chard don't keep us in suspense - get signed up, it won't be the same without you. Mr Potter PS Anyone else even thinking about signing up whether from North or South, just do it. Don't worry if you think your not a good enough shot you will almost certainly end up on a squad with someone who will give you a bit of coaching so you could come away a better shot!! There will be no pressure (lets face it, if you're from the South you'll lose anyway) it will be a day to have a laugh, meet new people, put names and faces to avatars and RAISE MONEY FOR A VERY WORTHWHILE CHARITY. If you have the same sort of luck I had you might even go away with an armful of raffle prizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looking forward to it. Not shot at this ground before so that's always a bonus. Fingers crossed i get put with a bunch of spackas so my shooting looks good. Last year didn't go to plan as i shot with the potters so i was the spacka. which reminds me, are the black pyjama party coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 It's almost a shame I live so close to the ground. From the sounds of things, the local knocking shop Premier Inn is the place to be for the night before. I am a bit concerned that the average scores seem to favour the Northerners. Does this mean that I'm going to have to take things seriosuly and find my skeet chokes instead of using full/full like last time I did skeet?

Teal Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 56 signed up now! But only 15 from the North, looking at the average scores that may well be enough!! However, the more the merrier and if you're thinking of coming, then you must send in payment now!. All entries and payment must be received by 23rd April. That is THIS SATURDAY In certain circumstances I can allow a small number of late entries beyond the cut-off, so if for some reason you want to come but can't send payment by 23rd you must PM me ASAP.

GDBO Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 All booked up and paid for by some sucker who should know better (honestly, I will cough-up for juice this time!). I offered to shoot for the North but they were worried about their overall average being lowered too much Looking forward to the day; love shooting with banter, much more fun...

silpig5 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 ◦Squads of around 6 people will be arranged prior to the day do we or team captains arrange squads ? we have 5 in our car is that nearly a whole squad ? we are all equally bad !!!!!!!

Yep, it's clear that some people want to shoot in the same teams as each other and that some definitely don't... but a lot aren't really too concerned and want to have a fun day out with like minded people and smash some clays. So this is how we plan to do it. Once the event is closed to new entries we'll put up a post inviting members to contact us if they have any particular squadding preference. Once we have this, we'll mix up the remaining shooters as best we can, to get shooters from the North and South in the same squads, and let everyone meet new faces. The squads are 6 each, and we will have 10-12 stands depending on numbers. If anyone can think of a better way to do it then please post up or PM me and we can revise it. I spoke to Sporting Targets yesterday and they are very relaxed about the whole day, so it's shaping up to be a real cracker, if you're hesitating about sending your payment in, post it off, paypal it or PM for bank transfer details, the closing date is 23rd April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
