2012/2013 Season

Another season over and again some more new faces.  
Below  are the proposed dates for 2012/13 season.

Tuesday 4 December 2012 - PHEASANT SHOOT & LUNCH

Tuesday 5 February 2013 - PIGEON SHOOT & LUNCH

Tuesday 5 March 2013 - BREAKFAST SHOOT

Tuesday 9 April 2013 - DUCK SHOOT & LUNCH

Tuesday 7 May 2013 - BREAKFAST SHOOT

Tuesday 4 June 2013 - WOODCOCK SHOOT & LUNCH
(Giant Gnome)

Tuesday 2 July 2013 - BREAKFAST SHOOT

Tuesday 13 August 2013 - GROUSE SHOOT & LUNCH

After our last shoot no suggestions were made for any changes to the format, date etc.   I therefore set out the format for 2012/13 season.

Dates

Shoots will still take place on the first Tuesday of each month (with two exceptions  - April shoot being the week after Easter and the August shoot which we be held a week later due to the Helice Shoot.

Fund Raising

It  was suggested in 2011 that on one of our shoots we have a sweep stake to raise funds for a charity of our choice.   This didn't happen.  If however you would like me to arrange this please let me have any suggestions on the charity we can support.

Birds

All shoots will continue to be 100 birds

Handicaps

This year everyone is entitled to win under the handicap system, however a shooter may only win the OTS Trophies once during the year, thus allowing others the opportunity.   This will now apply to the Ladies and Men’s Trophies.  I have revised the handicap system as set out below:

80-100   +0 to your score

79-69    +5 to your score

68-49   +20 to your score

48-30   +35 to your score

Under 29  +50 to your score

Membership Fees

The membership fee will be the same as last year of £12.00.    Then at each shoot you pay for your clays and breakfast/lunch.  

The price of the shoots and lunch will remain the same for this season

100 Bird shoot £29.00 (members) £34.00 (guests)

Two Course Lunch £9.50 per head

Breakfast shoot £18.00 (full English Breakfast and 50 clays)

There will be a penalty fee charged (£5) if you book to come for the lunch and then do not turn up.   This also goes the other way, if you turn up and have not booked, those booked will have priority on lunch. 

I hope it has been a very enjoyable year for the club and the enthusiasm continues for 2012/13. 

If anyone has any queries or has further suggestions or comments please let me know – as we always mention at the various shoots this is your club, run for you and by you.

Many thanks
