I thought the Annual Shoot 2007 was a really well organised day and it seemed to go like clockwork! But just one thought. There is a very nice trophy for side by side users but not many people seem to have a try for it.

It would be nice to see more people having a go with the traditional game gun.

One suggestion to encourage interest I have is this. It is reckoned that a side by side is equivalent to a 10% handicap with clays, so make this official and boost the scores of teams by 10% for every member of the team using a a side by side! That should make people a bit keener to use one! And means that teams with someone using a side by side aren't handicapped because of it. I'd be interested to know what others think.

Dear PGPC Members,

Hope you are all well.

The summer is too much fun to be indoors on a computer, however, I thought I would provide an update on pgpc.co.uk.

How It All Began

People often ask: “Tell me about the strange beginnings of the PG&PC”.

It started in 1984 as a common-and-garden expenses scam. I had joined an illustrious firm of agents in Hanover Square and in those days of small pay cheques needed to get my shooting paid for as business entertainment.

The real problem was finding a farmer crazy enough to let me bust clays on his land. I visited all the swankier spreads in N.E. Hampshire and after having the dogs set on me many times I chanced upon a tucked-away smallholding farmed by a terrific old nutter called Dick.
