webber Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 The Portacabin certainly came in to its own today providing shelter from the steady light rain. The effort expended in laying woodchip on the paths has eventually paid off with zero muddy boots. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 The weather forecast for this Sundays shoot looks great. We are having a work party tonight to alter the layout a little. This will improve the shooting on the South side of the ground and provide a few more shooting positions and car parking spaces. The work to the pathways has paid off, it looks like we are now on top of the mud issue. I have one lesson slot available for this Sunday. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Webber you'd be better off starting a new thread on what's on at Astley Gun Club or the latest at Astley Gun Club as this one was started a year ago. It can't all change constantly You may get more people looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Thanks to Grandson Jacob, Sue; Ste and Martin we achieved a lot in a couple of hours on Tuesday evening. The wood chip paths for the revamped South Side stands are making good progress. The mower will be working hard again on Sunday. Weather forecast for Sundays shoot looks good. We have one lesson slot still available at the moment. Fathers Day is just around the corner. An ideal opportunity for a shooting lesson as a present. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 It may be a little damp for this Sundays shoot, but as its 40% chance of light rain it must be that there's 60% chance that it won't rain.Martin has repaired the mower. Phil and I put it to good use last night.Just one lesson slot remaining for this Sundays shoot. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webber Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Cracking shoot on Sunday. The promised rain held off right up to the point where we locked the gate to go home. The new MINI trap performed well. I'm looking forward to putting it to good use in a number of locations. We've changed the NEW Membership package. The price is now £50.

webber Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Grandson Jacob, Gunner Gordon, Tommo and I had a very productive work party at the clay shoot on Sunday. We let some more light into one of the wood targets and made provision for a few new trap locations to allow for some different target presentations which we shall trial soon. Gunner Gordon concentrated on laying some of the pile of black stuff, improving the underfoot experience and creating an extra car parking space. Next shoot is Sunday 16th. October commencing at 10am. Last entries is 1pm. Cartridges and refreshments available. 60 clays shot over 7 stands plus 2 practice stands. Non members welcome, please bring your SGC. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Sadly the weather forecast changed for the worse. We got set up and then got a good soaking followed by glorious weather. We had a decent turn out and the new trap position was appreciated and well received adding another dimension to our targets. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
