HFT Teams

[sparky]

As we not having many club teams enter on the day at the moment only Quarry & Lea Valley, perhaps we may try something a bit different and doing it a bit like a football season for next year.

We could get lads/lasses to enter a squad min of 5 max of 15 at the start and call themselves a name i.e. "Keyboard Heroes" and they must shoot for that side all season but can join another team the following year if they wish, but once a squad is chosen there can be no adding over the series all names must be in from Round 1. Or we could have say a "transfer window" after Round 5 were you can add 3 shooters to the squad.

We could charge £10 per team per season and this could go towards some advertising etc.

Just adding a bit of fun to the series and i think a lot of lads would like this as not many belong to an actual shooting club.

As I'm looking for a HFT club here in the NW it would appeal to me. Only problem is would I appeal to my potential "team mates?"

Can't the "Real Tree" team coming in for me at transfer window time!!

Great idea hope it takes off.

The way things seem to be going at the moment it looks like us 'foreigners' <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:--> might be able to field a team (well 4 people) for most shoots.

How about the "Armchair Marauders"?! keith

[Road Runner]

Can I reserve 'Celtic Cousins' under the CORNISH FLAG (and even include the new DEVON FLAG for some good friends)?! Keith

[Road Runner]

'Wild Westerners' .... 'Western Wanderers' ... 'Dartmoor Dervishes' .... 'Plymouth Privateers' - all reserved - the list is endless!!! Keith

I noticed that, at Chester, a lot of guys were listed as 'BBS'. Can't they be incorporated as teams, the highest 5 scorers being the 'BBS A' team. Ditto with TPC members.

Yup thats what we mean i.e. a squad of say 10 BBS lads are the "Old Gits" <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:--> this way we could have around 20 teams taking part at each round.

we use the same princible in petanque, it works well. <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->

"Old Gits" sounds about right for the majority of us hehehehehe!

and "Old Drunken Gits" most Friday and Saturday nights at these do's <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->

Seriously, its a good idea even for some that do belong to clubs and don't have/ can't have the commitment from other Club members due to one reason or another, but I think a small few are now interested from the Chester Club as they found it fun, however, not enough for a team.

Ok, I'll have Deano, Lee C, Wodger, and Del-boy to join me in the 'Bird Pullers'. <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->
Heh heh,
Mick ( who has retired from Old-Gittiness)
