The annual NGO Golden Grouse clay shoot was held at E.J. Churchill at the Swinton Estate on Wednesday 19^th June, the first time at this venue and it proved very popular with the members. 

There were some fantastic prizes on offer thanks to our sponsors, Carr’s Billington, Skinner’s, L&A Dent Game Dealers, Treksta, 4 Elements Clothing and Killgerm.

We were delighted to see a very good turnout, with 111 members registering to take part, which paved the way for good competition and forced 3 shoot outs to determine the podium places for the 6 categories on offer. These were made up of ladies, juniors, veterans, side by side, supporter and the prestigious Golden Grouse (Grouse keepers only).

The results are as follows:

Ladies: 1^st Amanda Knight (55), 2^nd Ruth Bell (51), 3^rd Tracy Johnson (25)

Juniors: 1^st Oliver Edwards (77), 2^nd Anthony Clark (71), 3^rd Jack Robinson (68)
