There is the problem Glen, Bucks have some great shooters and have had great committees in the past but, we only ever had 3 ESP reg grounds and no other grounds to cater for other disciplines for County shoots. As for dates, the discipline managers were always going to gets thier bums smacked because everyone wanted to shoot the County shoots and demanded certain dates, when these were booked the CPSA or region would then put on a fixture that would clash. When I ran trap I tried not to clash fixtures, but even when I used to get the diaries early, I again was on a hiding to nothing sometimes. I never had any problems with shooting at Hornet or Pete Munns ground, but many shooters did, mainly because of the facilities. What is even more disappointing is when I was Chairman and Mike Self before me, the County was in a great financial position and the County dates normally went ahead without too many clashes, because we all discussed dates at the meetings. What happened when "The Family" took over, nepotism???Answers on a postcard please.
