Never be tempted by the air intake modification though, it involves cutting down the barrel which usually leads to arrest!

Now that's hit the target, brilliant Mr E.

We are both interested - I had a go a few years back. Even if you only hit one it is an achievement. Hit 2 and you are a sureshot.

Sorry for delay in posting but due to circumstances, the original arrangement can not be honoured.

I have spoken to Doveridge Clay Club, who would be more than happy to accommodate us on the day.

I have booked June 07th 2008 as a pro forma date - This is not an obligation, but just to keep us available on the Books.

The club is set in 75 Acres of countryside and if we wish we can also have lunch there (Menu will be provided later)

The Club have even allowed us to have photos taken with our cars, whilst holding the Rifle we have uised for the day. This can be Group shots or singular if you wish.

There are Three packages for teh Shoot:

£35.00 Per head - This is a 25 Clay shoot and would last approx 1 hour
£50.00 Per Head - This is a 50 Clay shoot and would last approx 1 and a half hours
£75.00 Per head - This is a 75 Clay shoot and would last approx 1 - 2 1/2 Hours

Lunch can be provided - again, more details to come.

The Groups will be split into 5 Members per group - Each group of 5 members will have one instructor.

We will all have our own Shotgun, this will be given to us after the safety briefing at the start of the day.

On the day there will be Four Trophy Plaques available.

1st Place
2nd Place
3rd Place

and if we wish to have an "In club" Tournament i.e MG Zt's Vs 75's or Silver 75's Vs the World lol............we can have the fourth. These are available at £10 each, however, I will pay for those myself.

If you have your own Shotgun, you are more than welcome to bring it, but could you also bring along your licence as well.

The Club also offers many other activities, including Archery, Crossbow Archery and Pistol Shooting along with many Motoring activities including Micro Tanks !!!

This is teh Website: http://www.doveridgeclaysports.co.uk/

Can you let know if you require to make a day of it and have lunch in the Function room at the Club or if you would rather go to a local restauraunt.

We also have teh option of decorating the Function room with Rover related stuff, this is not necessary, but if anyone has ideas let me know.

Also, for anyone interested, there are Cottages to rent for the night if you wish - prices can be found out later if you. I will also look into local hotels should any long distance travellers be coming.

The events location is in Doveridge, which is approx 3 miles from Uttoxeter.

Finally, for now..........

Our cars will all be parked together, so plenty of Photo Opportunity

Give the punters time

I'm sure when everyone reads through this during the next few days you'll have a good list to work from.
