Help Support Clay, Trap, Skeet Shooting Forum:
You will struggle to find a registered ESP shoot in Lancashire, a few places do practice and members competitions but not registered.
Blackpool sporting clays
Back Lane
Greenhalgh
Kirkham
Preston
PR4 3HP
Last year did registered and practice but I am not too sure if they are holding anymore registered shoots.
Catton Hall Shooting Ground
Bradley Lane
Frodsham
Cheshire WA6 7EX
Do a practice day every Wednesday between 10:30am and 4pm. Registered Competitions take place once a month on a Sunday and an open comp on a bank holiday Monday's.
I live in Lancashire and have to travel to the midlands for my weekly registered ESP but Catton Hall is the closest for practice and reg ESP but no good if you want to shoot practice on a Sunday.

Yes I have shot Coniston in the past both for practice, registered ESP and FITASC. Lovely ground great facilities with some very good targets.
Unfortunately there was a bit of an issue over a selection shoot a few years back. Some shooters rightly or wrongly decided the shoot was too hard. The complaints manifested themselves in perceived aggressive behaviour towards referees and staff by a vocal Minority. The ground then pulled the plug on registered ESP shoots.
They still do registered DTL and ESK but the last reg ESP / FSP was 2013
So I don't go up as often now.

Blackpool have registered shoots this year, NOE selection shoot, fairly soon...
I shot all the registered shoots at Blackpool last year but when I go on to the fixtures or find a club on the CPSA website it is no longer listed as a ground.
That was the only reason I didn't know if they were continuing or not.
