Gloucester Wildfowlers Association is holding a young shots event on Sunday, 15 October for accompanied junior members, or siblings and friends of full members.

Starting in the afternoon, guests will enjoy light refreshment and casual instruction before heading on to the Severn estuary for an evening flight. Youngsters deemed too young to shoot are welcome to attend and can either come just for the afternoon and leave or take the flight with a parent or guardian shooting for them. If you are interested or would like more information, contact Andy Chadwick as soon as possible by email at chadfish@hotmail.co.uk or tel 07593 697469.
