Hi folks

As I've had little success with the Rolls Royce idea to date, I was thinking about what other possible event to do late this summer that is not car show related.

Here are some choices...
  • Clay pigeon shooting in Hertford (close by - different)
  • A visit to the Haynes museum (good museum, long drive)
  • A visit to the Beaulieu museum (good museum, shorter drive)
  • Slot car racing (if I can find a good place that does it)
  • Another visit to the Prodrive company (they have a new site)
Are any of these of interest? And if so, which?

Thoughts?

A

Thanks for the responses, problem is not enough people interested in doing the same thing.

I'll leave it open for another two weeks and then see if enough people wanting to take part in something smile

Clay Pigeon shooting = 10
Pro-drive = 14

Ok, pigeon blasting (and possible pro-drive tour it is). Let me see if I can arrange both...

For pigeon shooting - which of the following packages would people want...

1. Have-a-Go Clay Shooting Experience
shooting instructor 20 Shots - £25 per person, minimum 2 people This is for people who have never had any experience of handling or firing a shotgun and would like to know if it is the sort of thing that would appeal to them. It is an ideal way for a group of friends to get together for an hour or so to try it out together and makes an ideal anniversary type event. We usually put on these events on a Saturday, when the Clubhouse is open for refreshments. We have a shooting stand with an instructor, and everyone takes turns to shoot at a choice of targets so in the end you will each shoot at 20 targets. The typical group size is 5 or 6, and it takes about an hour. We supply all the necessary equipment.

2. 'High Gun' Clay Shooting Experience
shooting instructor30 Shots - £35 per person, minimum 2 people. As above for the Have a Go, but with the addition of an extra 10 shots competition – usually shot in pairs and a small trophy for the overall winner provided there are at least 5 participants in the group

Personally, I would say 2 as there are 6 of us.

Can people look and see what they want asap?

Thanks!

October is the only date I can do. I'll need to talk to the club and see what dates they have available.

Depends on when it is in October as I am away one weekend (11/12th) but clay shooting is good for me if there are any spaces left. Can you bring SWIMBO as well?

PRODRIVE



Hi folks

For those who expressed an interest in doing a Prodrive tour this year
(Prodrive have new premises this year and/or missed you missed last year's
one), the only dates they have available in October is the weekend
of the 19-20th, i.e. either the Saturday or the Sunday.

If you are interested AND can make those dates - can you let me know ASAP,
so I can book it?

Many thanks, Alex.
