Shorts or troos?

Am so looking forward to tomorrow - love shooting at Swallows FTC, and the SIHFT Series is the best way to spend the summer
Really?
Less sure after spending 14 hours of the past two days 'toiling' in some of this Summer's hottest sun.
Yesterday it was a case of 2 men went to mow, went to mow a meadow. Big thanks to Vince for most of the hard work (though still reckon I can cut straighter lines ) and through him to his mate who loaned us, free of charge, a mower capable of hacking its way through 18 inches of thick grass and weeds and to another Vince mate (Bob) who took time out of his day to cart the mower on his trailer to and from the club.
And today, another 9 hours in the sun (please keep jokes about my rosy cheeks quietish), designing and laying out the course. Thanks to all helpers - Vince (again), plus Colin, Pete, Carla, Chris and Alasdair who agreed to be my target which I then threw 2oz leads at across the lake in order to pull strings out.
See you all in the morning - assuming I wake up.
Early arrivers will be roped in to help set out the plinking area and to see who can remember how to erect our marquee. If I've finished all my pre-shoot duties, I may just sit and watch the latter - always fun

Are we shooting in nettles Biggs or are shorts appropriate for us 'Non mat' users!?
Well done as well, never too much fun short handed!

We won't be there early enough to assist with setting up the plink, but we'll gladly help muck in with packing everything away at the end of the shoot.
