The 2010 Stapleford Shooting Championships

Thursday 9th September 2010 | Stapleford Estate and Stapleford Park Hotel

On a beautiful early morning eighteen teams of 4 guns apiece met up at Stapleford Park for the inaugural LOROS Shooting Championships: an event that will now become an annual fixture. Lord Gretton and the Stapleford estate joined forces with Stapleford Park to create a very special day's simulated clay shooting. The shooting programme was run by the Really Wild Company.

Across five drives of simulated pheasant, grouse and partridge the teams were suitably challenged. The Avery team, headed up by John Strowbridge, took the honours. Following the shooting, guests returned to the hotel to watch both a gundog scurry and the Top Individual Gun competition which was won by Bertie Hoskyns-Abrahall who hit the maximum ten.

The event was sponsored by The Sturgess Group who supplied all of the teams with a Range Rovers and chauffeurs for the day. The championships were created and run by the events division of the hotel, The Stapleford Forum. Next year's LOROS Shooting Championships will take place again in early September.
