pegasus bridge Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just been debating this with my shooting partner, what does everyone think? We are obviously going to observe 2 mins silence, I'm ok with it - what does everyone else think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdfish Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 We used to gave our clay shoot every Remembrance Sunday. Everyone stopped as per. No worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Never been to a ground which didn't observe the two minutes silence - and no-one, but no-one has ever broken the silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just been debating this with my shooting partner, what does everyone think? We are obviously going to observe 2 mins silence, I'm ok with it - what does everyone else think? I'm off Ferreting. As far as I see it, those brave chaps died so we could continue living our lives and enjoying our freedoms - and doing the opposite to remember the fact that we can, doesn't make much sense.

clakk Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 2 minutes silence is the important part remembering the fallen ,who gave all so we have freedom.im from a lucky family both great grandads came back from the somme and grandad and his brothers came back from burma.to shoot is your own choice but to remember is all our obligation .just stop for 2 minutes and pause to remember those who never had this choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double10 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'm off Ferreting. As far as I see it, those brave chaps died so we could continue living our lives and enjoying our freedoms - and doing the opposite to remember the fact that we can, doesn't make much sense. (nor does that sentence, but you see what I mean) surely you're remembering the people that died, not the fact that you're free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delburt0 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 We always stop for 2 minutes hats in hand bowed heads ( it's the least we can do ) :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sian Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I've never shot anywhere where they have not observed the silence. We even manage to observe the silence on the 11th in our school which are children 2 yrs to 7 yrs. They have been taught about the reasons the whole of this last week even at the very youngest age through stories and art etc. The Reception Year will attend a service at our local memorial on Monday representing us all and laying a wreath on our behalf.

Frenchieboy Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Weather permitting i will be shooting on Remembrance Sunday but I will (And always do) stop and observe a 2 minutes of silence and reflection with my hat off and head bowed at the appropriate time! So many gave so much so that we could be free. Observing 2 minutes of silence is the least that we can do to honour them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I wont be shooting and will watch the Remembrance Day Service on TV, always do. Just what I do to remember those who gave everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnerbob Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I do as Kes, I watch the Remembrance Day Service and say a quiet thank you to those that paid the ultimate price so I may be free to follow my chosen path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
