Big Shots, the furnishing industry’s favourite clay pigeon shoot organised in aid of industry charity The Furniture Makers’ Company, will return this summer.
The fundraiser, which is now in its 28th year, is once again taking place at the Holland and Holland shooting ground in Middlesex, one of the UK’s premier shooting destinations, on 7 June 2022.
The day will commence with a hearty breakfast. After a safety briefing, the 100-bird shooting competition will start with the firing of the cannon, with teams then making their way round 10 stands set in the estate’s 60 acres of countryside.
In addition to the traditional shooting stands, there will be some novelty stands, including the flash clays and an eight straight stand. After the clay pigeon competition, there will be prizes, a raffle and charity auction, following a three-course lunch with wine.
There will be plenty of opportunities throughout the day to raise money for the charity, which supports workers from the trade who have fallen on hard times and encourages new talent into the industry.
Enjoyable for novice and experienced shooters alike, Big Shots is perfect for entertaining clients or suppliers, team building days for colleagues or a day out with friends. Big Shots is once again being sponsored by Furniture Village and organised with the support of Charlie Harrison, Furniture Village md.
‘We’re thoroughly proud to be a main sponsor again at this year’s Big Shots, it’s a fantastic day out and it will be great to welcome many familiar and new faces along on the day. The most important thing though is it’s all for such a worthy cause and we’re very privileged to support in every way we can,’ says Harrison.
‘Big Shots is a highlight in the furnishing industry’s calendar and, as always, we’d like to thank Furniture Village, the event’s principal sponsor, for their support in making the event possible. Big Shots raises vital funds for out charity, and we look forward to welcoming new and returning teams to Holland and Holland this summer,’ says Jonny Westbrooke, The Furniture Makers’ Company ceo.
The price of an individual place is £300 + VAT with a team of four costing £1,200 + VAT. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.
