Everyone enjoying the mild weather? With December looking like one of the mildest since 1944, we’ve certainly enjoyed some warmer than usual shoots. Probably, we need to prepare ourselves for a harsh January or February as these things have a habit of evening themselves out.
A huge thanks to the team that sets up the sporting and trap layouts week in, week out. It’s hard work, but many hands make light work, so if you are able to come a bit earlier to lend a hand or stay later and help pack up, then it would help enormously. Without our volunteers, there simply wouldn’t be anything to shoot at. Please do get in touch if you think that you can help.
