Miserableolgit Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Turned up at Lakenheath CTC this morning as my lad had an introductory lesson booked to find the place billowing smoke and surrounded by fire appliances and police. Got home to find a message on my home phone from the club about the fire and that they hoped they caught us before we left. Hope nobody was hurt.

paulos Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 so how come it was chosen as the oficial olympic traning /practice ground then? Is it an olympic training ground? I didn't think they even had OT/DT layouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The big boy Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Is it an olympic training ground? I didn't think they even had OT/DT layouts? THe twenty twelve Olympics! No doubt get some investment from the Olympic fund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 THe twenty twelve Olympics! No doubt get some investment from the Olympic fund. Yes, but they're cutting it a bit fine. Don't they use black clays on the skeet layouts as well? The skeet boys won't like that. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
