Dave at kelton Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I thought I would do a little follow up on the event. It was a beautiful day here in SW Scotland and Hoddom Castle did us proud allowing use of the field by the river Annan. We had stands for, scouts, bee keeping, air rifle shooting, wildfowling, fly tying, fly casting, red squirrel protection, rural policing, archery, and even a glider. I was largely involved in the fly tying but had also arranged the wildfowling. gates opened at 10.00 and we immediately had children and parents with us. My first two hours were non stop teaching fly tying. I also managed to get a little time to help with the fly casting later in the day. By the end of the day we had taught over 60 children to tie their first fly. All are entered into a free competition with the winner getting a fly tying kit! wonderful day with enthusiastic youngsters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feltwad Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 Well done sir I have done this type of shooting display not only for youngsters but also the older generation since the 1970,s what shooting is all about then it was at least 4 shows per year . These shows take a lot of work preparing your exhibits and then cleaning after which takes a week before and the same after. Feltwad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Director would like to keep building on it and run others through Scotland. If there are any of you out there who would like to get involved please do contact Ken to discuss!
