nnorman32 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hello. I usually shoot at Park Lodge near Goole, As a member I pay 22p a clay rather than 30p for non members but I have heard this is going up in April, (25p/31p) - no big deal, but my question is how much does anyone pay in other grounds in North Yorkshire, The only other place I have been to is Monckton where you pay per cartridge but I hear good things about Thimbleby/ Hazel bank too. Cheers N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Our ground charges £12 for 50 birds so that works out at 24p per clay. Iirc Whitewater charges 28p per clay and Pinewood charges 25p per clay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Up here Bywell and Steve Smiths have both increased charges, Bywell up from £6 to £6.50 per 25 clays Don't know what Steve Smiths has increased to as I don't shoot there, Also be aware that anyone that employs groundstaff on minimum wages, their pay goes up by 50p per hour from April, We haven't increased our prices for a while but the price of clays has been steadily increasing so it's something we may have to look into. Our club charges members £6 per 50, and non members £9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 12p per clay at your club Shaun, that's very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 12p per clay at your club Shaun, that's very cheap. It's worked for us over the years Will. Annual subs pays the rent, We sell cartridges at cost plus fuel and a couple of pounds, (All 250 boxes sold at 1000 rate) Food and drink pays for itself Clays are our biggest cost, We have slowly replaced 95% of our traps with Auto's It's good housekeeping really, we wouldn't be able to keep going if we charged 24/26p per clay, nobody would come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL S Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thimbleby is great i think its £27 per 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonksy777 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thimbleby is 24pence per clay for non members 10% discount for members if you buy 500 on your card youget 50 free a 5% allowance is given for no birds on all clays bought,sensible complaints are all ways looked at on merit Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fielddweller Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Nnorman32 Don't mean to hijack your thread,BUT 4 of us went to Park Lodge this week end and what a disappointment .No bird after no bird and loads of stands closed,they have two good high towers and hardly a trap in sight. Now we are not regular clay shooters but what stands were open were the same as our last visit in Sept,surely things need updating. They invested serious dough in the new club (which has a bar that doesn't seem to open), but the clay ground needs to be the main attraction. I doubt we will return for a while.

figgy Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Anything over 24p per clay is too much in my book unless your shooting at somewhere like West London etc. Most clubs I've been too are around this price for practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fielddweller Sorry to say i have to agree with you ,the last time we went to Park Lodge was much the same as your own experience ,numerous traps not working way too many no birds ,marker boards missing . Considering the cost of clays at this ground i really think someone needs to get their act together down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite right, I tend to go mid week, shoot early, break for a coffee and circle round again often finding the driven partridge and teal are empty by lunch time, have seen a lot of shooters complain.Often wondered when the bar was open.....

grousemoor Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Disappointing to hear about the problems at Park Lodge, I can remember going there a few years ago when the shop and café were in containers, and the targets were great and not too expensive. It has had a fortune spent there, and should be a top class ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
