Organising charity clay days

Now summer’s here, make the most of the fine weather and do some good by organising a charity clay. Here’s…

Charity clay events are held at grounds up and down the country and can be small or large. Well-known grounds like Holland & Holland, EJ Churchill and the Royal Berkshire Shooting School hold them regularly and will offer experienced assistance with charity corporate days. Holland & Holland in fact currently holds the record for the latest amount raised in a single day.

No experience is generally needed to shoot on a charity clay day as instructors are on hand to give a safety briefing and give a clayshooting lesson.
