Cranfield Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I don't wish to split hairs, but it's anyone intending to contribute, not just those attending the shoot. In the past, some of the largest contributions have come from those who don't attend. Might as well flick the shoot off and just stick up a Justgiving page then eh? A lot of people contribute who can't attend the Charity Shoot for various reasons, or just don't shoot clays. The focal point of the whole Charity effort is the Shoot Day and thats how it should be.

steve_b_wales Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I can't attend, but, as I did last year, I will make a donation online. All the nominated charities are worthy causes. Macmillan cancer support is one that I would like to see get something, as I witnessed how they cared for my 52 year old cousin at home, until he passed away.

PhilR Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Guys, please don't let this great event fall apart because of bickering. It is early days yet and I'm sure there'll be more votes cast. I suspect that the generosity of PW members will be supportive of whichever charity is ultimately selected.

Mr Potter Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Terry, should the numbers in the vote not correspond to the numbers that are going to attend?? Would you rather that 50-80 attend but a load more people who don't attend cast a vote? To be fair there will be plenty who can't attend or who don't shoot clays but who do support the PW charity. As an example I know that PhilR has been unable to attend either of the first two events but has dug deep with the donations and he is only one of many. It would appear churlish to begrudge the non-attending benefactor a vote. Potter UN Edited February 16, 2012 by Mr Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the feeling is that they shouldn't be made to self-flagellate in shame if they haven't voted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Guys, please don't let this great event fall apart because of bickering. I don't think anyones bickering Phil, just airing their views. But I do think we could do with another PW brewery tour once all this is decided upon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think we could do with another PW brewery tour once all this is decided upon I am all for another brewery tour, as I am sure others would be, lets find a brewery outside of London if possible and convenient for as many to attend as possible. The Charity Shoot must be our priority, and we should all pull together on it. My original question/statement was not meant in any way to denegrate this fantastic event that has raised and hopefully will continue to raise a good source of income for the chosen Charities.

Teal Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I am delighted to announce that with more than 100 votes cast, Different Strokes is the clear winner with more than twice the number of votes of the next nearest charity. I look forward to releasing more details including registrations in due course for the 2012 PW NvS Shoot, but with it still a little more than 3 months until the event, for now please be sure to save the date in the diary - SATURDAY 2nd JUNE @ ORSTON SHOOTING GROUND. Will the North reclaim their trophy, or will the South be able to retain it.... Can't wait!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Well done Phil, I like your thinking I have a contact at the Wells Brewery in Bedford if that would be of interest not foolish enough to volunteering to organise it though!

Guys, For obvious reasons of security I wouldn't be too keen to tell the whole World which hotel you will be staying at the night before. Do it all by PM. Cat.
