27 June 2008 - Charity Presentation

Firstly, thanks to all the members who turned up to be a part of the 2008 Charity Presentation. In a change to recent years this was not just a club event, the presentation party was made up of Running Hill Clay Pigeon Club members as well as a number of Andy & Leanne`s friends and family.
 
Chris Crowther (President) sent his apologies as he was unable to attend due to events beyond his control.
 
James Crowther (vice-president) presented two awards on behalf of the Members & Friends of Running Hill Clay Pigeon Club:

2. Marian Pass (Neonatal Nursing Sister) and DR. Srabani Samanta (Neonatal Consultant) of St Mary`s Children`s Hospital received £700. This presentation was a thank you for the care they provided to Harvey David Bradshaw and the support they provided through the Bereavement Support Team to Andy, Leanne, Emily, Danny and the extended family throughout their very difficult time.

A number of other presentations were made to St Mary`s Children`s Hospital by Andy & Leanne`s friends and family who attended in order to present their own awards.
 
Running Hill Clay Pigeon Club would also like to thank Julian & Chris Taylor at The Church Inn, Uppermill for their generous donation and their continued support for the club; long may it continue.
 
Both recipients asked me to pass on their gratitude for the awards and stated that these donations really do make a difference.
 
Well done everyone, some pictures of the presentation are available here.

26 June 2008 - New Safety Officers

To ensure we always have at least one safety officer on-site (a requirement for our insurance) the following people attended the CPSA Training Academy at Doveridge CPC on 25th June 2008.
 
Andy Bradshaw, Peter Cooper and Paul Moreland all passed the course with ease and are now fully qualified CPSA Safety Officers. They join Phil Gibbon; our existing Safety Officer to ensure we maintain our exemplary safety record.
 
If you do not know who your safety officers are you should ask at the counter and they will be pointed out.
 
The role of the club Safety Officer is to ensure the shoot operates in a safe manner and in accordance with current legislation. They are delegated their responsibilities by the Shoot Operator (in our case the committee) whom with ultimate responsibility lies.
 
You should feel free to approach any of the Committee or Safety Officers if you have any concerns over safety at the shoot.
 
You should also take notice of instructions from them at ALL times.

22 June 2008 - Shoot Summary

What can I say? Just as we announce the windiest day ever along comes another to take the title. But, such is the strength of the club we had another great turnout. 

The wind made the targets "challenging" to say the least, it comes as no surprise therefore that there were no personal bests put in today. 

Andy Ripley was always going to have his work cut out to beat Steve Butlers 46/50 92% in the shootout for the Saddleworth Cup 2008 Highmoor Top Gun Trophy. Andy`s 34/50 68% whilst a good score in the conditions was no match in the end. Well-done guys.  

OK, now a couple of important dates for you:

All members welcome. It is hoped that members can make this presentation and make it a special event. There will be representation from St Mary’s Nursing Team, Oldham Mountain Rescue and hopefully several news organisations. 

The first of our 2 Annual Flushes. £25 entry inc all clays and first 50 shells. Price includes a complementary buffet at The Church Inn.

 The format will be 5 person teams, the cost per person will be £25.00, and this includes 50 cartridges and a buffet reception at Church Inn, Uppermill from 17.00. If you cannot make up a team of 5 don’t worry many people will be in the same position so we will team people up accordingly.

The gully shoot has proven to be successful and so will again be run for a bit of extra fun.

1st Prize 250 Cartridges
2nd Prize Free Shoot
3rd Prize Pewter Shotgun Pin

A person may enter more than once but may only take 1 prize; any person taking 1st Prize must present a current valid shotgun certificate in order to claim prize.

Charges for the Gully Shoot will be: 25 Clays & Cartridges £7.50 Entry to the Side-Comp (optional) £3.00 

Pre booking is not required but a courtesy email/text to give me an idea of numbers would be useful.

26 March 2008 - Harvey David Bradshaw

As many of you know, Andy, our Chairman, his wife Leanne and their two children Daniel and Emily have been expecting the birth of a baby boy within the next couple of weeks.

Sadly, Leanne was taken seriously ill on Monday 17th March and was rushed to Tameside Hospital where she underwent lifesaving surgery for serious internal bleeding and an emergency Caesarean Section was carried out to deliver their baby Son, Harvey David Bradshaw.

It is thanks to the quick actions of Andy, and the skill and dedication of the Staff at Tameside Hospital that Leanne`s life has been saved and she is continuing to make good progress along the road to recovery.

However it is with great sadness that I must inform you all that little Harvey, despite a brave fight for life and the exceptional care of the staff at St Mary`s Children`s Hospital in Manchester, died in the arms of his Mum and Dad on the afternoon of Saturday 22nd March, aged six days.

I am sure you will all join me in offering our most sincere condolences to Andy, Leanne, Danny and Emily for the loss of their little Harvey and pray for Leanne`s speedy and full recovery.

We have received many messages of love and support from friends and members of the club along with many offers of assistance, and for those kind words and thoughts Andy has expressly asked that we thank you all.

In view of these tragic circumstances, it seems fitting that the charity monies pledged for donation this year be donated to St Mary`s Children`s Hospital Appeal by a way of a gesture of thanks for the fantastic way in which Harvey was cared for, and the support the Hospital has provided Andy, Leanne and the kids throughout their ordeal.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Andy, Leanne, Danny and Emily.

Your Treasurer
Phil Gibbon

Well done to the farmers who took the trophy for the third time in the competitions 4 year history. As you can see the event was decided ultimately on a dozen points, which illustrates the competitiveness of the shoot. Better luck next year although we did say that last year too.

29 October 2007 - The Annual Saddleworth Christmas Lights

We are pleased to inform you that this annual event will again take place at the start of the Christmas Season. It was a great success again last year, a real community event that has become a fixture in the Saddleworth calendar, and we want to make it even bigger and better this year.

Over the last three years the event really has brightened up Saddleworth for Christmas, not only on the day, but particularly, with the Uppermill lights, contributing to a real Christmas spirit during the whole of December.

The event this year will be held between 3 pm and 6pm on Saturday December 1st and will include Father Christmas on his sleigh, a procession for all the community in Uppermill High Street, Christmas stalls in the Square, carol singing lead by the children from the local schools and finishing with fireworks in Uppermill Square. As you probably know, it is very children orientated event, strictly non profit making, supported by local organisations and the local community.

We would very much like to invite your organisation to join in the event, please come along and join the procession, maybe some of you would also like to help marshal the singers and children as they accompany Father Christmas up the main street. Come dressed up in Christmas gear if you want and add to the fun! Could you put our invitation up on your website, and inform your members and their families that they are all welcome?

Contact the team below if you have any questions, and with any ideas, help and assistance. And we promise that you will enjoy yourselves!!
