Next year , well we shall do them all again apart from the British as its someone elses time , as i do want to shoot one occasionally ,i also have a couple of ideas up my sleeve for shoots to keep this great sport going forward and upwards , but please dont tell Ally , not just yet 

see you all soon and keep enjoying what youre doing Steve

Managed to shoot 3 out of 4 of the 'Major' shoots you hosted this year Steve, enjoyed them all, +2,000 miles of driving, learned that it is very difficult to finish work at 7pm, drive 4-5 hours, sleep, up early, drive an hour then shoot well...mental fatigue doesn't sit well with targets that require 100% concentration!!! Get the dates of next years shoots out as early as possible so I can plan my trips down South better for next season!!!

Oh NO cant we have them somewhere else for a change :haha:  A bit more south in the nicer part of England.

There is more than enough shoots further South as it is!!!

There is a draft calendar on the CPSA site... locations tbc for a lot of shoots. 

I am trying to gather a few more dates to include on a PDF here on the forum. 

trouble is the cpsa calender wont be final until about march 

the classic sporting will be the same weekend as always and our troy fitasc will be around the same time as will the gold cup 

chubby did you not shoot any of mine this year ???/

No Steve they were to hard for me and too northern and 4 hour 30 minutes to shoot is to long and to expensive and to many Saturdays and I am to short :nyam:   

Best year for majors I have ever known- a credit to Steve and Ali.

All bar the English were top drawer- roll on 2015!
