Kalahari Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Not you we are worried about! Actually it would be a terrible shame if this had to be cancelled after the amount of work that has gone into it. So come on roll up roll up. David.

flycoy Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Marki Good idea, but Bakerboy has arrange so many deals for the day I don't think we could of done more than we have to try to make it work. I thought we would have some more newbies on the day. cancelling it is the last thing we want to do. Flycoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm sorry, perhaps I am just very thick, but I don't understand. It is a course where you will learn something, some will learn a little many will learn a lot and you will meet like minded people. It isn't expensive so why haven't more people signed up? I do despair at times. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontastic Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I must admit I am very surprised by the low number of takers, especially when you have dozens of posts in shooting wanted where posters state they want a day out not to shoot but to learn the ropes. Here they have been offered the perfect chance to learn the ropes from experienced shooters and yet there are so few takers, makes me wonder if these people are serious about learning or are just after a free day out.

Marki Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 It isn't expensive so why haven't more people signed up? I do despair at times. One reason is that they have attended a previous course. There is also the School holidays. A good number of people will be away or hae spent their money on the yearly holiday.

Kalahari Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Well whatever the nay sayers say this is the last chance to get your name down before it is pulled, so come on guys please step up to the plate. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 One reason is that they have attended a previous course. There is also the School holidays. A good number of people will be away or hae spent their money on the yearly holiday. For sure,and you can add any amount of other reasons too. Shooting magazines have tips and methods almost monthly so very easy to get expert advice via there,and again with the experts on here advice is only a post away. Would like to know what happened to all that requested this though as if the numbers were high they have let down those who are working for it.

bakerboy Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hi everyone. I am sorry to say that I have decided to cancel the course due to lack of interest, in reality there was a lot of interest but not enough people to make it viable. Russ (flycoy) and I were prepared to run this course on a no fee basis, just cover our cost, Clays, Cartridges Tea's and Coffee, biscuits and information packs etc. plus accommodation on Friday evening, I live in Stevenage, Russ in Kenilworth, Fuel cost 400 mile round journey for me 200 miles for Russ, the figures did not add up. I would like to thanks all of those that supported this attempt , especially Kalahari. victorismyhero and loriusgarrulas. Could I arrange another? I am not sure, a lot of time and effort was spent (and now wasted) with BASC,A1 Decoys and Ely plus a few surprise offers, plus monitoring the situation. I along with flycoy are really disappointed, not only for ourselves but more especially those that wanted to come along. Sorry Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marki Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I can completely understand the disappointment. Thanks for trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbone Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 This is a real shame, I was really looking forward to this as I am a newbie to pidgeon shooting, I would like to thank everyone involved in trying to put this together. If you ever think about doing this again please let me know because I for one would be interested in going, once again thank you all.

flycoy Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 It is a shame! I have just monitored the post really, Bakerboy has done all the work, got the sponsorship etc. Hope you all understand that we would of given our time for free but need to cover the cost of the outlay. When we got the original interest I thought we would have to turn people away with the rush! Thanks to those who have booked a place and your support I know bakerboy is very diappointed as am I Flycoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northerner Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) That's a shame i was really looking forward to it Thanks to bakerboy and flycoy sad there wasn't enough people signing up Edited August 17, 2015 by Northerner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
