Morning

I've just found out that Ian Cawthorne who runs South West Shooting School has died in an accident.

Ian was a genuinely lovely man, our group have a long shooting break down there once a year for 15 years and he always looked after us really well.

Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

a great bloke.

That's bad news. Shot down there for years right back to the Dede's days when I used to stay up all night drinking with him while Jackie went to bed. Very sad.

Oh that's a great loss! 

Thoughts are going out to family and friends!

Does this mean that there is potentially another ground up for sale in the future?

Very sad news indeed. A nice guy, enjoyed his company.

Did a course that he assessed on some months ago, absolute gent, joined us for dinner, happy to impart his wealth of knowledge & experience. Come the day of the assessments, he put everyone at ease...most passing through his station receiving a nod & a smile with a quiet 'keep it up, you'll be fine'

An undoubted loss to his family, friends and the world of shooting.

Sadly I only found out today that Ian had passed. The day of his funeral.

I was always made welcome by Ian when I turned up at his shoots. A true gentleman, that was as honest and genuine if you know what I mean.

I hope the shoot continues in his good name and my thoughts are with his friends and family.

Very sad news indeed.
