lakeside1000 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) What about Norfolk, even if its on the lincs cambs border it would be a lot closer to a very large number of shooters in this part of the country. As to charity, what about 'help the heros,' my wife and I believe our lads need all the support we can give them, and date wise, anytime when the sun shines, its no fun trying to hit a lump of clay in the pouring rain.but you might need your crystal ball for that one, Edited January 2, 2013 by lakeside1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 As i am fairly new, can someone give details about this. Every year Pigeon Watch hold a charity shoot between those Pesky Suffeners and the Royal Northeners, Its held either somewhere North or South alternating every year, This year its the South's turn Its a 100 sporting shoot with the top 10 scores from each side counting towards the total, so it doesnt matter what your abilities are its a bit of fun raising money for charity So far its 2-1 the the North ME organised the first and very well it went too with over 70 shooters taking part Teal (PW Boss) now organises it. What about Norfolk, even if its on the lincs cambs border it would be a lot closer to a very large number of shooters in this part of the country. As to charity, what about 'help the heros,' my wife and I believe our lads need all the support we can give them, and date wise, anytime when the sun shines, its no fun trying to hit a lump of clay in the pouring rain.but you might need your crystal ball for that one, It was decided that smaller charities would benefit as the likes of HFH and the bigger charities are well catered for, last years was Different Strokes and a very worthwhile charity too maybe a bit early but seeing as its held may/June I thought I would jog peoples memories as venues and overnight coach houses need to be booked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bi9johnny Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 guys may i suggest instead of putting money into a charity where a large percent of the money is taken up with admin costs, why dont you find a deserving individual who needs helping out with say a new wheelchair or appliance to improve day to day life at least then all the money goes straight to the needed just a thought atb john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Steady on chaps.........this is all a bit too premature and highly likely to get stamped on by the Mods, too much "thinking outside the box" Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I think [only my opinion] it is way to early to discuss this. The problem being the topic can get overcooked months before it is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reece Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I notice that they do a poll to decide which charity each year. Who decides the candidate charities to go on the poll? EDIT: Never mind. I've done a search and found what I need. Looks like there's a thread for nominations and then a selection go to a poll.

MITCHF Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Glad it's been brought up early , not done it but a few of us want to this year. As soon as we get a date/venue, we'll be up for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 with a little luck i'll be there, and may be a few others from the crown shoot! personally i don't think it's to early to discuss the venue, stuff needs to be booked!

DAVE_B Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Keen to find out when and where! We won't threaten any of the scores but it sounds a good opportunity to meet up and it's for charity so we will do our best to be there!

aka_t50 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) hi guys just a thought being as its north v south how about finding a ground in the middle and insted of the money going to any charity what about putting it in to a country sports charity like http://www.pass-it-o...-sports.org.uk/ that way we helping the future with the present just a thought thanks Tim Edited January 3, 2013 by aka_t50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a selection of them go to a poll and the one with the most votes gets the money. But I can't see anything on that website about it being a registered charity.
