Katie Absalom
Many of you will know Katie from her time at Purdey and the Royal Berkshire where she headed up events, marketing and brand for nearly ten years. Katie has now founded an exciting new boutique events, marketing and PR agency, Wilde & Glorious.
The Wilde & Glorious team create soulful, immersive experiences for individuals and businesses, as well as helping brands to tell their story and stand out in their niche. They would love to hear from you.
The Shooting
We are offering three categories of shooting to suit all levels of experience. Every category has some amazing prizes up for grabs for first, second and third place.
Novice
Novices are ladies who are very new to shooting or have never shot before. You’ll enjoy a fun introduction to the sport of clay shooting.
Expert tuition will be given by our professional instructors and all equipment will be provided including a shotgun, ammunition, clays and all necessary safety wear.
£125
Intermediate
Intermediate shots are those that can shoot competently and safely and do not need to be accompanied by an instructor.
You will shoot an 80 ‘bird’ sporting competition over a course that is designed to be fun but challenging too. You will need to provide your own cartridges and you are welcome to purchase them from us on the day (please note we are a fibre wad only ground).
£75
SERIOUS SHOTS
This one is for ladies with a CPSA Classification of C or above. You will shoot an 80 ‘bird’ sporting competition over a course that is designed to be fun but challenging too.
You will need to provide your own cartridges and you are welcome to purchase them from us on the day.
£75
You are more than welcome to book with friends (we pop you into squads of 5). Please note novices shoot a separate course but Intermediate and Serious shots shoot the same course together with different prize categories.
Sponsors
We cannot thank our incredibly generous sponsors enough for supporting this inspirational event and providing such wonderful prizes. We wouldn’t be able to host this event without them.
