discobob Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 For those that know of Puddington, the last ever shoot will be this Thursday, 29th July. It will be a shame to lose this location and a loss with Mr Costain passing away FYI - In the summer it was on a Thursday evening - 7 till 9, in Winter it was on a Sunday afternoon.

RCB56 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 I think you need to check the day/date as 29th July is a Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HantsRob Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 With it saying this thursday, I am guessing he means June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops - I don't know what is happening this week - I have been a day (at the day level) and a month (at the month level) ahead. We went out for a meal last night - except I had booked it for the last Tuesday in July!!!! So takeaway Pizza for 3 and a McD's for the 4th (he won't eat Pizza) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you go and enjoy the 'take 2' meal on the last tuesday in July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discobob Posted June 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Well, tonight was the last night. It has been running for 60 years. A lot of past and present shooters turned up and it was a good tribute to Dave who started and hosted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HantsRob Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Sad times. Is there a chance someone else could buy the traps, permission etc and take it over? It's always a sad day to see something close, I've only heard of one recently that has opened so it's definitely downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted June 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 It may be back - once all the legals are done. Dave apparently stated in his will that he wanted it to continue....We can but hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
