Charity clay shoot raises £63,000 for St. Richard’s Hospice and Child Bereavement UK
A very successful clay pigeon shoot took place at Bransford Manor In October.
The clay shoot was attended by some 120 shooters plus 30 guests all of whom were provided with lunch sponsored by Luke Johnson of Pizza Express fame and Patisserie Valerie through Penyard House of Ross-on-Wye. Shooting was arranged by Alan Bewlay of the Throckmorton Gun Club and his team.
An auction on the day also boosted the final sum and included a silent auction.
