Thinking back a few years when Charlie and his family ran the ground, the DTL layout was always busy. In fact, they probably made as much from the trap as they did other disciplines.I think people are being too harsh on the previous owners, running a business in the current market means tough decisions have to made. Couple that with the high inflation, cost of living crisis etc its harder and harder for a business to make an actual profit. Some decisions may of been seen as mean but with the overall decline of clay shooting if it doesnt make money people will cut back on those services. I rarely see people doing skeet, dtl or trench so i guess removing the running cost of these makes sense. I always found whatever they put on, ran smoothly, timely and was fair. Ground owners aren't meant to be your mates, they run a business not a social group.
I pay 24p and 28p in my 2 local groundsThe price of clays is what grounds think they can get away with. Orston are showing that this is overinflated somewhat.
I dream of 24p a clay. I recently checked half a dozen places in the South West and it ranges between 35p and 45p a clay. If anyone knows of anywhere decent that costs less, I’d be keen to know.I pay 24p and 28p in my 2 local grounds
