Wild Boar Clay
Pigeon Club
My other plan is to find ways to help
novice and beginner shooters ease
into the sport, whether that’s
friends and partners
of existing members
coming along and
having some easy
targets as part of
the days lay out or
a beginner lesson
arrangement
which can be pre
booked and we
provide all that
you would need.
We also need to
keep our attendance
figures up so I would
like
to
survey
the
members and find out what
they would like from the club. We
are planning our first ever 75 bird shoot
as well (fingers crossed).”
Community
“I think our club serves a wide
community within the shooting scene; we
are on the Cheshire/Derbyshire border
and there are a good few clubs around.
Shooting is a popular pastime in this area
and like the whole of the UK, is on the
increase so we manage to pull people in
from a good distance away but it’s a sport
people will travel for so we must be doing
something right.
A big event last year
was a charity shoot
held to raise funds
for a local village
which had a large
industrial
unit
explode causing
some fatalities
and destroying
s e v e r a l
properties. We
contributed
over £3000 with
an
evening
shoot.”
Challenges
“Like many
clubs, costs are
always a concern
whether that’s
maintaining
and
replacing
equipment or the
weekly clay costs,
so balancing the
books whilst offering
challenging but good
value shooting will always
remain a priority. With so much choice
in the area we must be careful not to get
complacent and keep on top of what the
membership want.”
Ambitions
“Our ambitions are to increase
membership and weekly attendance
numbers. Sounds easy! We have a
fabulous piece of land to use so the future
is about developing it in such a way that
we can offer more variety in the targets
we present and the shooting we offer in all
weathers and really utilise all its potential.
This will be a big effort by the
members on work days and we
have some very generous
benefactors who offer
metal
work
and
gravel and such. We
have people with
vision for what
could be done
so ideas aren’t a
problem, the next
few years should
be fun.”
