Latest News:
Castle At Chatsworth Country Fair.
Castle FTARC will be hosting an event at the Chatsworth Country Fair on the above dates and setting up on August 28th. This was exceptionally successful last year and we are hoping to repeat it again. We are looking for club members who would be willing to assist in helping out.
We will be setting up a “have a go” tent. This will involve showing members of the public how to safely load and shoot at targets. Benches and seats will be provided, and lanes will be supervised and marshalled by us. This will involve requiring members to do a two-hour stint to help with the above.
We will also be setting up an external 20 target Field Target course.
The stand is open from 09:00 – 17:00 on each of the show days. We have an adequate number of guns to facilitate the event so there is no need to bring your own.
Tickets to gain access into the show ( normal daily rate is £35 per person) will be provided without charge for yourself and a partner. After your duty rota has been completed you can, of course, then take full advantage of your remaining time to wonder around the showground at your leisure.
If you are interested in helping out, could you please contact Pete Rowley at Castle FTARC so that he can compile a list of names and sort out the daily rotas.
Many thanks in anticipation of your support.
