10th September 2008

The first Robert Lancaster clay pigeon shoot, in aid of CRY, went with a bang and has this year raised £164,000. The Robert Lancaster Charity Fund has now raised a gross total of over £200,000 for CRY since the start of 2008.

The shoot, at Bisley Shooting Ground in Surrey, was a complete sell out and attracted some of the shooting world’s leading shots and London’s top business people. The shoot was made up of 10 stands, 2 pool shoots and a team flush.

Tim Charnley took the individual honours, while teams from Bovale Ltd, AAC Capital Partners and SSL International took 1st, 2nd and 3rd team prizes. The pool shoot was won by Betton Cambidge – part of the Long Mountain Shoot team.

A total of 100 shooters took part making up 25 teams ranging from first time novice to highly experienced shooters. The shoot was followed by a lunch, a live auction and a silent auction with the most popular prizes including ‘your weight in Galaxy chocolate’, donated by Mars; a Jonathan Palmer track day, donated by Cadbury; Penfold wines; and a box at the O2 to see Tina Turner live, donated by Gallaher.

Our thanks go out to all the companies and individuals who supported the event and helped raise so much.
