Success at the Inter Livery Charity Clay Shoot, 24 June 2021

One arrangement that was unchanged this summer was the Inter Livery Charity Clay Shoot, 24 June, which went ahead at Holland & Holland as planned. Also unchanged was the resounding success of the four Gunmakers’ teams, which came 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 8th. Individual scores were pretty good too, with Liverymen Mark O’Dowd and Colin Burrows achieving the second and third highest scores respectively. See … here… for the full results.
