Help for Heroes has gained thousands of pounds thanks to the generosity of participants in a shooting day.<\/p>\n
Members of Spennymoor and District Clay Pigeon Gun Club in Fishburn held an event on Sunday (October 13th) with the charity in mind, reports the Northern Echo.<\/p>\n
Organiser Phil Bartlett has yet to provide a final figure of how much was raised on the day, but he hopes it will hit the £6,000 mark.<\/p>\n
"It's been an absolutely brilliant day. It started a bit quiet but it got so much busier," he explained.<\/p>\n
All of the money raised at the shooting day in the north-east will go towards Help for Heroes' new recovery centre in Catterick.<\/p>\n
Several competitions were held on the day, with Lee Jackson coming out on top in the 50 open shooting category, while John Adams won the down the line contest.<\/p>\n
The quality of shooting was described as top-class by Mr Bartlett, despite the poor weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
