Seal Island Gun Club success for RNLI



As part of Selsey RNLI Lifeboat Week the Seal Island Gun Club resurrected its Clay Shoot after a break of 5 years. The club had previous run this very successful event for 10 years. This years event proved to be very popular and raised £1003 for Selsey Lifeboats.

Mike Pitts, Chairman of the club, said ‘The Gun club was started 34 years ago and one of its founder members was local business man Bruce Jenkins. It was through Bruce’s work with the RNLI, he is the Head Launcher at the Selsey Station, that the club began supporting the Selsey Lifeboats. It has been a great pleasure to once again run this event in support of Selsey Lifeboats but it could not happen without the support of local business namely Mr Heaton of Ham Farm for his assistance and Bunn Leisure for the use for their Archery Field. Also thanks go to the Selsey RNLI station for all their help especially Sue and Tracey.

If anyone is interested in joining the gun club or finding more about this sport they can contact me on 01243 604721 or Ray Cuthbert on 0783 627 4580.’
