The Help for Heroes charity is to receive a sizeable donation after a clay pigeon shoot was held to generate funds for the cause.<\/p>\n
According to the Northern Echo, the event – organised by the Spennymoor and District Clay Pigeon Gun Club and held at West House Farm in County Durham – is expected to raise around £7,500.<\/p>\n
The spectacle attracted about 250 people and the cash collected will be added to £3,500 raised by the group at an earlier sponsored shoot.<\/p>\n
It was planned by Phil Bartlett, who spent 18 years in the service of the Royal Corps of Transport.<\/p>\n
The 52-year-old said: "We have had a great year so far with great weather and there have been plenty of people putting money in the jar we have for Help for Heroes."<\/p>\n
It was recently revealed media company GMG Radio is to raise cash for the charity by running a Help for Heroes Day next month, which will involve an 18-hour appeal.<\/p>\n
