Now that the early signs of spring are starting to show, light nights, bulbs flowering and Birds all over the FL2, it must be time for the second Freelander 2 (Northern contingent or anyone else) meet.

Nick’s post on Shotguns and Clay shooting got me thinking , about our next meet up (That’s if anyone still wants to meet )so I called the chaps over at the Coniston Shooting Lodge, next to the LR Experience at Skipton.
They can offer all equipment, guns, instructor s and 35 clays for £45.00, think we would be looking at ten people minimum, they will even organise a little competition (could be Vanners v non Vanners)

Just seeing if anyone’s interested and if we get a few people we can then start to firm things up

Cheers
Tony

Sounds good idea to me

I wonder if we get numbers up could we arrange anything with the LRE

I'm there in April too, and was going to try a half day shooting aswell as my free LRE Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'm there 23rd April for my LRE but still interested for another date.

Sounds Good to me.
Good get CG to bring some of his feathered friends for a bit of live action?


Hope this isn't a pre-empt to you getting the bullet!!!  There's always a way forward!

Or some of those scones we hear so much about  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Is there anybody else interested in this?

8 people so far, that's if Toeknee signs up  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

May be a few members waiting to see if CG comes good with the scones  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Sounds like a good day

Now signed up, that makes 9 so far I think one of friends that’s in to shooting may like to come along so we would have 10.
I’ll give Coniston shooting lodge a ring tomorrow afternoon and try and firm up some dates. I think a Saturday sometime in May (not including the Bank holidays) will try and get some options on datesand times

Have had a chat with the chaps over at Coniston Shooting lodge today and have come up with the Saturday 14th May
Start time would be 12.00pm to allow sufficient traveling time, cost is £45.00 and that includes all tuition, guns, cartridges and 35 clays. Fee is payable on the day and I will secure the booking with a deposit

Can you all confirm by PM by Monday the 14th March as i will need to book the afternoon next week

Cheers
Tony

Sounds good to me as my diary is clear that day, but need to check the wifes chore list/diary too

If I have my own gun by then, is the cost the same ? Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Under the thumb skinflint Yorkshireman!

Just drop a penny in his hair saloon and bend to pick it up!

I have one Saturday free in May and that happens to be the 14th
I will confirm that date if it still stands by Sunday.

Sorry but I would rather ask the wife than tell her

But I am free that day, so no need to drop anything at the salon  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
