Hampshire driven clay shoot raises over £31,000

 

The teams competed for the Canine Partners’ Charity Shield, with a course made up of 6 demanding drives including high pheasant and driven partridge.  The day was won by Penn’s Pupils from Northants, consisting of Captain Andy Barnwell, Linda Barnwell, Steve Hamblin and Mark Stevens.  The local Holywell team were runners-up, with competitors the Earl of Clarendon, Jono Irby, James Ormerod and Will Dobson.  The winners were each given a bottle of Henri Chauvet Champagne


Competitors were treated to breakfast before the shooting, which was followed by refreshments and an impressive lunch provided by The Creative Catering Company. The wine was generously provided by George Rhys of ES Fine Wines.  Two auctions took place with fantastic prizes on offer including  a private tour of The Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam with flights, a chance to stay in a chalet in Klosters, a voucher for a portrait photograph of your pet by renowned photographer Nick Ridley and tea at the House of Lords. Canine Partners is extremely grateful to all auction donors for their generosity in supplying a wonderful selection of lots.
 
Isabel Campbell, Director of Fundraising and Marketing comments - “With a record number of teams entering, this looks set to be our most successful clay shoot to date.  We are very fortunate that the Earl and Countess of Clarendon allow us to use their wonderful estate and thanks go to all the corporate sponsors and staff who played a part in this event.  This type of fundraising is crucial to Canine Partners and allows us to continue training dogs to make a difference to those with disabilities.”


Date for your diary – the next Driven Clay Shoot will take place on Saturday 17th September 2011.
