Unfortunately I can't get the August date for EScoco.
This shoot will, however, still go ahead but towards the end of September (by which time the rain might have stopped!!)
In order to get a feel for numbers and dates, please let me know whether a Saturday or Sunday suits most people and which weekend would be best. Feel free to vote for more than one option. Leading date at the end of the week will most likely win!
Details: Venue: will be beecraigs country park (
Beecraigs Country Park) (do a search for
Beecraigs in
Google Maps). Picture of the range here:
Flash Earth ...satellite and aerial imagery of the Earth in Flash
there are camping/caravaning facilities (book at least 3 weeks in advance!) and barbeque pits for hire. The park is a beautiful location and includes lots of other things to see and do.
Cost: To be decided. Thinking around £10 may just about cover field hire / portaloo hire/etc/etc.
Round: To be decided but perhaps an American or a Windsor (feel free to post your preferences here, and why) - unfortunately the butts are fixed so we'll move the shooting line forward (may be possible to set up one target shorter). There are 12 butts in total.
Facilities: I could arrange to hire a barbeque pit for the evening before, or the evening of the event for an additional £5 per head - would be good to get a bit of a party going? Barbeque bits can accomodate up to 100 people, so no problem there I think
There is also a lovely bar/restaurant in the park for those who prefer a sit down meal or a pint.
Accomodation: Camping/caravanning prices are on the web. Nearest towns are: Linlithgow, Bathgate and Livingston.
I will post more here when I know more!
