Thanks for that very kind invite. I may take you up on that ..... I'd probably bring along my wustest, wildest cocker Charlie and my nutcase Brittany ......so...... is the offer still open ?

I'm not fussed about shooting mate but I would like to hunt my dogs. Not sure I'd manage all the walking though !

A great offer indeed however I have to question the sums here. 3500 birds to wood for £350 per gun? My last syndicate annual costs for 1000 birds down was approximately
£5600.....not including rent. This is based on £3.20 a poult, 10 tons of wheat at £180 a ton and about £600 worth of pellets. I appreciate that these figures fluctuate around the country and from year to year but they won't be far away. So for this to work out you would need approx 60 members...Even if you rear your own you still have costs but will maybe save £1 a poult.

My thoughts aswell seems to good to be true you couldn't do 3500 for that money

Guns spaces are filled, Shoot captain told me today, However beaters with dogs more than welcome...

I will sort dates out for you Gazelle on Tuesday for you to Ave a look out ref beating or picking up...
