A big thank you to everyone who came along to today’s 75 Bird Competition here at Basford. We had a fantastic turnout, and it was great to welcome several new shooters competing in the Unclassified Section for the first time.

Hi guys,

After a very stressful day, I’ve finally had the green light to continue on Facebook!

Thank goodness for ChatGPT – the page is safe, and we’ve given it a fresh new look.

Everything is still the same, we haven’t gone anywhere!

Basford Clay Sports… that’s going to take some getting used to!

Thanks for all your support and we’ll see you on the shooting ground soon ❤️

The world has officially gone mad…

Unfortunately, we’ve had to change the name of the page after being threatened with having it shut down.

Apparently, we’re now being accused of promoting violence and hate speech🙄

Don’t worry though — we’re still very much the same page, with the same views and content. We’ve just had to put a little twist on the name to keep ourselves here.

Thanks to everyone who continues to support us. 👊

We also managed to dodge the weather, despite a couple of heavy showers!

Our next shoot is:

📅 14th June – 75 Bird Shoot

We hope to see you all there.

Thanks,

Team Basford
