Need to get some feelers before i go ahead with something.
Have a meeting tomorrow with a friend who has been given the chance to take over a new shoot ground, he has asked me to come along with him in the view that he doesn’t want to make this a syndicated shoot as the last few times this never took off hence why we have been given the chance to take this over.
There is a few things we could consider
• FYI -Location is South Kent
• Is there enough people in this area or surrounding areas to turn this into a training ground?
• We was thinking of i.e. approx 10 live training days (On partridge) this would only be open for spaniels & cockers 10 men 4 guns??
• We have also considered groups of say 5 thou the weeks in the trailing season say 20 bird days between you depending on costs??
• What is ave cost of training days paid for handlers??
• What is ave cost paid for guns at live days??
It’s all up in the air but would anybody be interested in these training days on scented grounds & then live days August /September if we were to take this on??
Just to get some thoughts from everyone on here would be good weather there Negative or positive
Ps we would be asking a few friends professional dog handlers that have won either cocker & springer champs to do these training days obviously we would pay them a fee for their service but it should be invaluable for their experience.
whats you thoughts??
Only remember faces
