Wild Boar Clay
Pigeon Club
Atmosphere
“We have a really good core of
regulars who turn out in all weathers
but the move to the new site has taken us
away from the pub where it all started,
the Wild Boar at Wincle, and this has had
an effect on the après shoot social. That
said this year’s Christmas shoot had a
record attendance and the pub visit and
raffle was well attended afterwards. So
overall, I think the members are enjoying
their shooting which is important.”
Community
“I think our club serves a wide
community within the shooting scene;
we are on the Cheshire/Derbyshire
border and there are a good few clubs
around. Shooting is a popular pastime in
this area and like the whole of the UK,
is on the increase so we manage to pull
people in from a good distance away but
it’s a sport people will travel for so we
must be doing something right.
A big event last year was a charity
shoot held to raise funds for a local village
which had a large industrial unit explode
causing some fatalities and destroying
several properties. We contributed over
£3000 with an evening shoot.”
Challenges
“Like many clubs, costs are always
a concern whether that’s maintaining
and replacing equipment or the weekly
clay costs, so balancing the books whilst
offering challenging but good value
shooting will always remain a priority.
With so much choice in the area we must
be careful not to get complacent and keep
on top of what the membership want.”
Ambitions
“Our ambitions are to increase
membership and weekly attendance
numbers. Sounds easy! We have a
fabulous piece of land to use so the future
is about developing it in such a way that
we can offer more variety in the targets
we present and the shooting we offer
in all weathers and really utilise all its
potential.
This will be a big effort by the
members on work days and we have
some very generous benefactors who
offer metal work and gravel and such.
We have people with vision for what
could be done so ideas aren’t a problem,
the next few years should be fun.”
