Re-entry Charity Clay Pigeon Shoot.

The second Re-entry Charity Clay Pigeon Shoot was held on Saturday 28^th April.Despite being a cold and wet it did not deter the shooters and there was a good turn out.The president’s charity this year is the Women’s Refuge Grimsby

During the morning Will and I put up his “pop up tent”, however a gust of wind ripped off one of the panels! Fortunately we were able to put up the two  sides to provide  shelter for people to sit at tables for drinking and eating. The Rotary tent was used for the raffle and serving teas coffees.The lucky ones were  on registration because they were in the cabin …...plus heating.The not so lucky ones had put up the tents or were on car park duty!

As soon as the shooters arrived many of them wanted a warm drink before setting off for the stands.The majority shot as individuals with some having a second go .There were four groups.

After shooting many stayed to observe or have something from the BBQ.
