Teal Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 2013 Pigeon Watch North v South Charity Shoot Grounds and Dates!! Good news! After a gruelling selection process, we have narrowed the Charity Shoot Grounds down to two contenders and two dates. We now need your help to decide which Location and which Date the 2013 Pigeon Watch Charity Shoot should be on. There are two things to keep an eye on, as each ground can only offer one date, and the two options are as follows: 1. Grange Farm Sporting Clays on the 1st June 2013 2. Grimsthorpe Shooting Ground on the 18th May 2013 Petethegeek has expertly placed these two contenders on the Charity Shoot map, complete with the North/South Dividing Line and Narwhals. As you can see this year we have chosen the ground as close to the dividing line as possible to hopefully make it equally easy for shooters to get to. Q. Where are these grounds? A. >>> NvS Charity Shoot - Grounds Map <<<< Both of these grounds have got some very good feedback from Pigeon Watch members, and I am sure that both will do an excellent job hosting the shoot. The winner of the poll will decide the location and date of the Charity Shoot - so please only vote if you are intending to attend! If you are hoping to calculate travel times the postcodes for each are: Grange Farm (LE9 9FL) Grimsthorpe (PE10 0LN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I have voted Grimsthope, I can make either date but chose on the basis it's the South's turn to host it. As it happens they both come up as 199 miles from my house Edited March 4, 2013 by shaun4860 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I also can make either , can't view Grange farm on my Ipad it needs a bleeding flash player So in that case I'll vote for Grinsthorpe looks a decent place on the Facebook pictures : Oh pants I've pressed the wrong club , sorry meant to be Grimsthorpe.

paulos Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Grange Farm is good, but Grimsthorpe has a certain Hodnet-style je ne sais quoi, so they get my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 either for me , but I clicked on the first one :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil3728 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I can do either, so clicked on first one, both are a bit far to travel in one day, is there anywhere decent to stay close to either of the grounds.

timps Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Both are very good grounds and should do a good job, but just a heads up as I know some PW members are also shooting the Benelli SP auto and that is on the 19th of May. Haven't decided whether to use it as a warm up for the Benelli or give it a miss if its the 18th yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Sorry, I should have said, looking to get a firm fix on the ground and date by Wednesday, so will close 48 hours after it started (Weds afternoon) which should give most people a chance to vote on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100milesaway Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Grimsthorpe is the 2nd best shooting ground in the country ( to Hodnet).Mark, I will be certain will put some excellent targets on and the ground is very scenic. No contest. Grimsthorpe for me... from Auntie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Sorry I cannot make either date , but have voted Grimsthorpe because it sounds very Northern .
