David W Baines

[Darren Petts]

Dave was one of the giants of the sport. Active with Redfearns, NEFTA, BFTA and UKAHFT. He was also a good friend. Dave will be sorely missed by his family and the sport is vastly poorer today. Nobody I knew worked harder for our sport.

Please do not ring his wife Pauline as her family are not with her yet. My deepest sympathies are with her at this moment.

Redfearns Turkey shoot will still go on on the Saturday - Dave would not have wanted or expected anything less.

This is one bloke that myself and Jane and plenty of other people will sadly miss, not only in the shooting world but he is someone that me and Jane classed as a good friend.

I was shocked to get a call about this a little earlier. I don't remember when I first met Dave, it was several years ago but I remember both him and Pauline as fixtures, so to speak, at the BFTA shoots and then at the UKAHFT shoots as well. He was a bridge across the two forms of our shooting sports and that was good. He will be remembered in SWEFTA and our Dartmoor Marksmen club for his input into the Grand Prix that we hosted this summer. He will be truly missed both as a good sportsman and as a good friend to us all. My condolences to Pauline and the family.

My condolences to Pauline and the family, Dave was a real "Mr. Nice Guy," who would mess in with everyone. A great loss to the sport.
