COACH Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Chris used to work for us in 2006/7 as a groundsman. He left NDSG to join the Coldstream Guards and was killed in action in Afghanistan in July 2009, aged just 20. We held our first shoot in his memory in November 2009 and we raised over £1800 for Help for Heroes and the North Devon Cadets (of which Chris was a member). As we have made this an annual event, with the kind permission of Chris' family, we held our 2nd shoot last year and raised just over £2000. This year we are hoping to have more shooters, make more money and have another fantastic day. We have had such kind and generous people helping us make this day what is has become for the last 2 years and we can't do it without your support. Here's where you guys come in - we are asking for: Shooters to come and enjoy the day! - we have a 40 bird shoot over 5 stands and entries cost £10 each and a pool shoot of 10 birds, with a separate prize fund. There are prizes for High Gun, 1st and 2nd, juniors and also a prize for ladies. Shooting starts 10am and last cards at 3pm (shooting must stop at 4pm). Plastic or fibre wad can be used. Raffle or Auction Prizes - Have you got anything you could donate for the raffle, auction or for prizes for the winners? Donations - if you can't make it on the day, you can still help! Every penny that comes in on the day will go to Help for Heroes and the North Devon Army Cadets. Cheques can be made out to either charity, I would ensure that each each charity gets exactly the same amount after the event. The event is being sponsored by The Clay Pigeon Company Limited who have very kindly donated the clays for the event for the 2nd year running. If you would like to know more, please email Jackie and Clive Warren at North Devon Shooting Ground on ndsg@hotmail.co.uk or have a look on the website http://www.northdevonshootingground.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COACH Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) No mate, its not your fault, I didn't notice they hadn't put a date so I've emailed them again and will post the date as soon as I hear from them. They need more sponsors and prizes though so if anyone has something they could donate then please do so. £10 a round of 40 clays.....still can't get over that, not these days. Well worth going. I've donated a 2 x hour shooting lesson. But they need more. Just heard it's Saturday the 12th of November guys.

Boristhedog Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 This seems a good cause. Once we know when it is perhaps we can get a few of us from south Wales to go over for the shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COACH Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Dear All CHRIS KING SHOOT SATURDAY 12TH NOVEMBER We have had a fantastic prize donated by the Carlton Hotel in Ilfracombe for our shoot. Claire, the Manager, has very kindly donated 2 nights bed and breakfast in a superior double room to be taken in 2012. If you were to purchase this package from the Carlton, it would cost you £220! As this is a major donation for us, we are looking to auction this super prize off as it is far too good for a raffle prize. I will auction the prize off at the actual event, but I am very happy for those emailed, who may not be able to make it on the day but put into an email bid, which could turn into a telephone bid on the actual day subject to interest. All you need to do is email me back stating what you are prepared to pay for the package - you can give me your starting bid and also state what is the maximum amount you would be willing to pay, should there be other bidders on the same amount. Sounds very exciting doesn't it! so, please do come back to me by the 31st October at the latest to be included in this auction. If you are unable to come on the day, don't forget to give me your telephone number! Thanks all for your support Best wishes Jackie Clive & Jackie Warren North Devon Shooting Ground Bickenbridge Farm Mullacott Cross Ilfracombe Devon EX34 8NZ Tel no. 01271 863959 (ground) or 01271 850393 (answerphone) Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday inclusive from 10am until 4pm www.northdevonshootingground.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
