THREE Team GB Olympians are taking aim to support St Margaret's Hospice at a clay pigeon shooting event - and you're invited to join them.

British shooting stars Steve Scott, Peter Wilson and Tim Kneale have thrown their support behind the St Margaret’s Hospice Charity Clay Shoot, which aims to raise substantial funds for hospice care.

You can meet the British shooting Olympians on Thursday, June 1, to dust some clays in the spectacular grounds of Hazelgrove Preparatory School in the heart of the Somerset countryside.

Aim, shoot and smash those clays to smithereens while rubbing shoulders with the country’s best shots to raise funds to help St Margaret’s continue to support patients and their families countywide.

Ilminster-based Tim Kneale, a world record holder and Commonwealth silver medallist, said: “I am thrilled to be supporting this fantastic fundraising event for such an important local charity.

"Whether you shoot regularly or are a complete novice, the day has been designed to ensure everyone has an unforgettable shooting experience and, above all, it’s an excellent opportunity to support your local hospice.”

You'll have the chance to bid on some amazing prizes at a live fundraising auction in aid of St Margaret’s, including a racing car factory tour, a bespoke wine tasting and a one-on-one polo lesson from a former England team captain.

And there's an extra special twist as you'll have the chance to bid for an Olympian to join your team.

The clay shoot is open to all skill levels, so whether you own your own gun or are a total novice, St Margaret’s sharp shooting Olympians will help you hit the target.

Participants will be split into teams of four and partnered with an experienced instructor who will guide you throughout the day and give you tips.

Tickets for a team of four cost £1,000, individual tickets are also available. Tickets include cartridges, shooting stands and a locally sourced three-course lunch.

The day ends with a prize presentation with awards for the best team, best shot and best novice.

All proceeds from the day, sponsored by the Hellier Group, will go directly towards helping St Margaret’s support patients and their families across Somerset.
