Count me in, all the mentioned charities are ok with me.

Its Scottish Poppy day coming up soon for all fallen Scottish service personnel.

I saw "Shoot for heroes" in one of the mag's sounded like a good idea.

Thing with charity events is they are a great press opportunity especially if you get it right.

Just a thought, how about involving all the clubs on the same day, make it open to all and get the public in, then to top it all have a sponsored shoot with a bus load of shooters hitting shooting every HFT target from the borders to John o'groats (Well probably Aberdeen).

It big, Its public and could bring a whole bunch of (Good) press.

We could involve the Air / Army / Navy cadets and open up a bunch of lines of communication all in one!

This might be a bit ambitious but man it would be neat, might even boost our membership.

Can i suggest that maybe we have a charity shoot first, which involves all the clubs!

Then have an open day in which all monies raised goes to charities, but we have it then http://www.nationalshootingweek.co.uk/

providing it's being held as an annual thing...

just a thought

instead of having one event at one location why not have 4 or 5 events over a two week period ?
this would alow shift workers and those who dont have transport a chance to attend
i do realise this will take a massive amount of organisation but will permit more people to take part .

Remember we still have problems getting people to normal club shoots.
If we have too many events on at the same time we run the risk of only getting half a dozen at each shoot. One, well publicised event would have more of an impact, in my opinion.
There has been a lot of good ideas on here but we need to keep it simple for our first shoot then build on that.
I think we should start small but with an aim to make it a regular event with each one bigger/better than the last. walk before you run, as they say.

Or each club hosts a charity shoot throughout the year, with the emphasis on each club to support the rest!

This could possibly help to break down barriers and get clubs mingling and interacting again......just a thought!

I like that idea, could work well and build as the year goes on, then one final big shoot at the end of the year?
