THE award-winning Shotgun and Chelsea Bun Club will hold one of its renowned ladies-only clay shooting and cake days at the Coniston Shooting Ground, Coniston Cold, on Sunday.
The aim of the event - which will run from 10am to 2pm - is to bring together ladies, who would not normally have a go at shooting and make it fun, accessible and affordable.
The day starts with introductions, after which the women are split into small groups and paired with an instructor. They are taught how to
shoot a variety of clay targets, safely and under instruction.
Founder Victoria Knowles-Lacks said: "We’re so excited about holding an event at Coniston Shooting Ground and we’ve had such a great response so far. It promises to be a fantastic event. Absolutely everyone is welcome to come along and try out this Olympic gold medal sport - and we guarantee you’ll hit some clays."
Once the shooting is over, the women will regroup for a cup of tea and slice of cake, served on old china. Scorecards are counted up and prizes are presented to the highest scorers and a rosette goes to the best cake.
The day costs £47.50 and is inclusive of 30 cartridges, 30 clays, gun hire, insurance, protective equipment and cake. To book or find out more, visit shotgunandchelseabunclub.co.uk
