Thanks Toeknee, off to Hobbycraft this week for the ribbon.......
I would have enjoyed missing some clays and the Coniston course. I almost went fishing there many years ago when staying with friends who lived in Settle. I am sure you will have a great day and mock those with little taste as to colour and chrome.....
As an off the wall aside for Npinks the father of a friend died suddenly on his own of a heart attack at home a few weeks ago, a 999 call was made by the person who found him. He had a shotgun licence and several guns in the secure cabinet. Within hours the local police appeared asking the licence and took the guns into safe custody.....A bit distressing for the grieving family! A relative is now applying for a licence so the guns can be retrieved....JT Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.
Gone - A great 57 Plate, Auto SE, Bought Feb 2009, Roof Rails and Mudflaps added on purchase. Blue colour, anything but drug dealer black.....

I heard a few story's of what they do regarding licences and events when they need to retrieve them, after all they need to be secure, part of the law so need to be done  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Due to unforeseen circumstances I unfortunately have to cancel guys. I apologise to you all but I really am needed elsewhere on the day...

Sorry!

shame i was looking forward to spying on you and getting some tips

The more i think about it I am still coming to meet up, but I may just shoot my own clays & carts, for the same money I can shoot 100+ clays obviously having to pay for my own carts though Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Shame, never mind, more scones for the rest of us

Yup, I suppose I'd better not stop for breakfast or I won't have room for seconds.

Thought I had said this previously but thought I would say it again if not

I would advise a good pair of shoes/boots at coniston as the grounds are set in a valley and can be uneven in areas, also advisible to have a hat/cap on as you may be in areas that have fallout from clays and shot, eye protection is advisable too along with ear plugs

I presume coniston will be able to provide some of above Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Confirmed numbers today with Coniston Shooting lodge earlier today, they suggested that we get to them for 11.45 am on Saturday, family and friends and Scones are welcome and as Nick has suggested bring suitable clothing and footwear.
A quick reminder that its £45.00 for everything guns, cartridges and instructors and of course for those with their own shotguns you can bring them along as well. Think they will spilt us up into groups of 4 -5 and with an instructor
See you all in the Coniston Hotel car park

I'm guessing all on the list can make the meet?

If your not coming can you remove your name from the list so we can get exact numbers Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

See you Saturday

A Waterproof might be a idea too  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Is any one meeting here as Nick suggested before we head up to Coniston Hall

Yeah, the early forecast is thunder/lightning what with all those metal barreled lightning conductors sticking up in the air

EDIT: I'M GAME FOR EATING, HOW ABOUT 10.30-10.45

I'm up for that, just in case we are let down and the Famous Scones don't materialise and I expect this will be to early for a certain member of the Leeds contingent, he will be busy detailing

Could meet there for a pre cuppa, do they do freerange eggs and organic scones
