dunganick Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 okay i tried this once before without much success. but after a relative success with the essex meeting we should make an effort to make this a regular thing. So tell me a few things so i can start working some things out... Would you rather 1x a month or 1x every 2 months give me 3 clay grounds local to you or which you would be willing to travel to. Also who would be intrested in shooting dartford sometime next month, and then of course hte following month we have the bisley meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Nick, I would be happy to shoot somewhere in Kent, owing to a job change it would need to be a weekend, and the first saturday I am free is 15th July. Can I propose the dartford ground for a 9.30AM start? Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Would you boys consider travelling as far as Caterham or Horne? (A22/23 junction on the M25) I know that is fair way, and would understand if you don't, but that may open it up to some of the South or even West of London sorts?

pin Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I am so new to this I would be happy to travel most places in the South East to meet up and shoot, count me in Weekends, Sat or Sun really only for me (unless I have loads of notice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I reckon if we planned to go to either of those 2 grounds we would need an update from someone who has been there recently, I gave up those journey's when I opted out of the company car scheme some time ago Caterham was getting busy, and I had heard that some Horne venues weren't too clever. If it has legs we may even be able to tempt the Brighton 'bum troublers' up the A23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Dartford, Caterham or Horne are ok for me although i've never shot them before dates i will just have to get round as i work shift work and have to go in some weekends great idea Nick i would urge anyone tempted to give it a go it really is good company and a great day out as you can see by our scorecards Digweed, Faulds ect we ain't so don't be shy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 So we will go with Dartford on the 15th then? then head back over braintree and try and hit that bloody battue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Next time your at braintree i will have to have a go,it's about a 20 min drive from me but i've never shot it.I normaly go to lakenheath if anyone fancies a round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Stuart, I would, I just wouldn't ask LB for directions Cheers Martin Naff off Martin. On a serious note, weekends but no more than 10 miles from the bay. For obvious reasons Once a month will be good. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I think you should make it bi-weekly LB, in case you get lost again and can't make it in time to the next one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 LB, Sorry mate, no offence meant. I have shot Lakenheath as well and it is a nice ground. bit too far for most of the south coast guys I suspect. I would be up for a once a month, PW world series clay championship. We may have to make it a south V North thing though. and then a team shoot off at somewhere like Sporting targets at Bedford as a finale.

Dunkield Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 That's good idea Martin I am sure the 'Northern' boys will have something to say about Bedford being halfway between the South and the North though spoken like a true Southerner! As completely seperate suggestion, and something for the diaries... Lower Lodge have a pub challenge shoot once a year, where each 'pub' enters a 4 man team, total scores for the team to count. It used to e enter as many as you like and the best 4 scores go forward but it got a bit busy. We didn't go last year as the queing got a bit mad, but apparently they have sorted that now. I will let you know when I get the invite, we could enter the PW Arms as a team? Oh, and it's between Christmas and New Year, but I know some of you boys need a lot of warning if you are planning a journey outside the county Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 My other half spent the day at Bisley Shooting Ground (http://www.bisleyshooting.co.uk/index1.htm) yesterday on a work day out. She said it was a seriously impressive, and challenging Sporting layout. Over 70 stands in the Surrey countryside. I'm looking into (the probably high) prices etc today, as I want to investigate it myself. Anyone shot there before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Nick and LB have shot it Baldrick, and we are there in early August on the PW day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 horne cpc shoot on sundays and have three grounds,one at gatton bottom ( next to the m25 on reigate hill),one at godstone vineyard ( right at jct 6 of the m25) and one just off the a23. all their grounds are within five minutes of the motorway.ive shot the first two but not the third,gatton bottom was the most challenging and has ten stands as opposed to the vineyards eight. the girl in the burger van/cartridge selling/card shop is GORGEOUS so if you decide to shoot there i will attend to score (and maybe count the clays you break too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 So, Caterham it is then! Cat, Have shot Caterham recently? I may go round there anyway even if the PW thing doesn't work out, but it is long way to go if it has gone down hill. So, Caterham it is then! Cat, Have shot Caterham recently?

Any prospects of another PW day out at Bisley (clay ground) this year? Sounds like an opertunity for you to arrange one Baldrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
