shaun4860 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 It depends if you are talking England or UK If we are talking UK mainland the center would be near the Coniston Ground near Skipton For England only Hodnet is on the same longitude as the center. By this they have either both been in the either the South or Midlands and South. so let's have less of this Midlands and North. Lets have one closer to oh hardy har.....lol last one was south..... next should be more northern but lets be honest, anywhere is good, great crack mediocre shooting, what more could you want....

Diceman Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Yep, nice ground, the layout could be made even better with a bit more thought and subtle use of the deep valley, but do they have the facilities to cater for 100 odd people, not on my last visit there, but perhaps things have changed recently..? Cat. Fair point, the clubhouse would be a bit crowded with 100 people in it, and they wouldn't get much odder than PW Loved that valley though, time to reload a couple of times for those pesky oranges falling away into the trees 200ft below you. Not that I missed any of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Catton Hall, Coniston or Fauxdegla spring to mind for the facilities, Catton Hall has supported the last 2 shoots with raffle prizes as well. Wherever its held (within reason) I will be there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catton hall would be nice, don't know fauxdegla and still haven't been to Coniston (long story). Ditto Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 how about cyprus and also make it a holiday. Cyprus has good weather all year round, even Xmas time, oops I mean "festive" season, is t-shirt weather during the day. Joe (Black Gun) has the contacts for Clay grounds and cartridges, some phone calls and the accomodation could be sorted..... Even I might take up the clays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
